A farmer who is literate is even more what?

as much as I appreciate old software, I don't think Mac's target audience cares about it all that much.

Chicago does have some amazing Mexican food though! To be fair, I haven't had any in Nevada, but I would imagine it's comparable?

You don't need ed, emacs can emulate it.

In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit.

You can pretty easily export Org mode files to markdown (and LaTeX)! There may be a setting you need to turn on (I forget and I'm not at my PC), but it works well and is very easy to use.

Also, I haven't really done it, but from what I understand you can also setup emacs to be a really good LaTeX editor.
