Because when you were first exposed to Unix in college, your Sun
workstation had a pair of diamond meta keys.

To be sure, I rarely use software, like Emacs, when it starts to refer
to "meta keys."  To be sure, my keyboard has meta-keys, they have the
Windows logo on them.  To be sure, I get confused by documentation that
distinguishes between the meta key and the escape key.  To be sure, I
just use vim. :)
