Daily #emacs enjoyment:

info

Browse your OS's installed info pages from the comfort of Emacs. I'm using it right now to browse the #elisp manual.

The info system is a hypertext mini-web available on most unixy OSes, and is primarily used to supplement man pages, often with more of a tutorial style.

Very handy when you want a refresher in some old hacker's ideas about how something should've worked 30 years ago. 😜​
