  Heh. I carry my .emacs with me on a USB key, along with my 
accumulated library of .els. I can use a few of the native 
keybindings, but I consider it a hardship, to be suffered only until 
I can load my "real" ones. ;-)
  Important observation: I do that because with emacs, I CAN. I've 
bounced around from various *nix systems to PCs to Linux to Mac OS X, 
and in every case so far I've been able to make the keyboard do what 
I want. (Okay, yes, for a remote system I do have to use a competent 
X server rather than a vanilla telnet session.)
  To me, this is a big part of the point of learning emacs in the first place.
