When Emacs and I first were acquainted, I *completely* customized my keyboard... Well... naturally, we got new keyboards eventually (the first Sun workstations), and I was back to square #1.

Now I play with the software, and leave the keyboard alone.
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.
