Let us all have a toast at that precise time: Tue, 27-Sep-83 12:35:59 EST.
That will incidentally be dinner time at Biel/Bienne: https://www.gnu.org/gnu40.
From the original message, as reproduced at the bottom of this historical page: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/initial-announcement.html.
...and a grateful toast to the unrelenting GNU and all the hands that make it GNU!
40 and freeing more users by the day.

Happy birthday GNU for Tuesday! I wish I'd known this. GNU isn't quite as old as me, but its founder is a fair bit older ;)
I'm also late, but still want to say
HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY GNU!
With humble tanks to the brains behind it + wishing GNU continues on its development path for another 40x40 years, at least!
I am a member!
Event group photo is online!
Yes. This seemed, to me, to be a spur-of-the-moment photo: The GNU 40 events was going on. Then one of the organizers said to the audience "Who wants to have their picture taken with RMS? If so go outside right now." Then the GNU 40 event was paused while people went to go do that. I decided to go.
Let's give it a try: Who can name the hackers in the picture?
I see a large group of happy gnus :)
By the way, the videos and slides of the talks are now available on https://www.gnu.org/gnu40.
Did RMS take the picture? I did not see him in it.
I am a member!
He is.
By the way the video of him speaking is also live!
You sent your avatar but we still recognized you.
What happened to all of RMS's hair? Did emacs 'rm -r' it?
Edit: It's cancer apparently: https://stallman.org/
>"Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and manageable follicular lymphona, so he will probably live many more years nonetheless. But he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19."
Best wishes big guy!!!
Edit Edit: I would already know that if I had watched the video like the rest of you. Sorry for being incredibly slow.
The video seems to show that RMS is still in good spirits. He even makes a little fun of his chemotherapy port.
