After trying GNU/Linux, I never turned back, and I never even considered an Apple, for many reasons. For the sake of my new teaching job, at a school where much of the work involves using Mac OS X computers, I have turned to the dark side. I am just not good enough to juggle operating systems when faced with this work load. I need to use Emacs, though, especially for Org-mode and editing LaTeX, and a plethora of other work streams. However, on both the laptop I have been given by the school, and my own new iMac, I have found myself face with a serious quandry: \C-c locks emacs up. Or is it \C-cc? I have found little or no information about this awful deficit, except rather amazing statement that emacs keybindings are available throughout the OS X system, except they are not used to Emacs! Wow! Can someone point the way to any useful information about this issue? I am heartsick about leaving GNU/Linux mostly behind, even while I am stoked that I have a job. On the other hand, OS X is an amazing operating system. I am a bit confused about how to install Emacs, all the same. Isn't it strange that OS X has emacs installed natively, while no GNU/Linux distro of dozens I have tried do. Another life lesson.
