Is there a cloud based version of emacs?

I'm looking for a cloud based emacs editor that i can access from X or terminal window. I don't really want to use google docs, since I heard google was evil.

1. get a shell account somewhere

2. use ssh + screen

I would suggest dtach instead of screen. There is much less conflict between key bindings for emacs and dtach, whereas with screen I was always forgetting which program would get Ctrl-a and being continually surprised.

You can use the "-e" option of screen to change ctrl-a to something else. My usual invocation of screen looks something like:

screen -e '^Oo' -S mysession

Disclosure: I use vi.
