I need to conditionally load a file in my .emacs file based on
the name of the host I'm running on.  The code would look something
like:

  (if (string= (hostname) "my_computer")
  	(load "~/emacs/file.elc"))

Unfortunately I can't find a function that returns the host's name.
Does anyone know what it is (or has anyone written such a function)?
