OUR READERS in Finland tell us that Richard Stallman of the Free Software 
Foundation arrived at Vaasa airport in Finland on the 21st October and had an 
accident.

Stallman was in Finland to deliver a speech at the GNU/Linux Free Software and 
Copyrights seminar last Wednesday.

"Unfortunately," as our reader writes, "the early and harsh winter of Finland 
managed to surprise him. Soon after his arrival Mr. Stallman slipped on the 
snow and ice-covered pavement and broke his arm". In three places, apparently.

"Despite the accident, Stallman has been a cheerful fellow and he delivered his 
speech over the phone while he was recovering at a hospital in Vaasa", our 
reader continued.

After he delivered his speech, Stallman was transferred to Helsinki, a 400 plus 
kilometer ride, for an operation on his arm.

And, at the end of his speech, an announcement asked if anyone handy with Emacs 
would care for a ride to Helsinki.

Someone took the offer up, apparently.
