[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
The importance of 'M-x' is significant.
I don't see any rudimentary usage of 'system-name' while one edits file or
even plays games. Does it really need to be aware of 'host-name'? Let's be
honest, if host-name is that important to Emacs, why did I get everything
working except the lock file deletions?
