took the plunge - it installed wget, then i installed the advanced backlight but when i copied the third command (diablo flasher) it gave me this:
dpkg: error processing kernel-diablo-flasher_2.6.21-200842maemo1rotationfast_all.deb (--install):

This may seem a strange tack here, but ... do you really care if you have rotation?
I used to have rotation, but got rid of it since the only time I actually ever wanted portrait mode was for reading ebooks, and FBReader has its own rotation, as do image viewing programs.

Great points, all. I guess I won't know until I try it. It would appear it would work well with mobile sites that tend to be left-side aligned. I like using mobile sites occasionally. But if I can't get it to install fairly soon, I'll probably just move forward with new tablet challenges. There's a lot to learn, I can see.
I think I'll review the screen-rotation threads one more time to see if I've missed a step.
What are some other programs/tools that you all would deem vital? I've installed the Personal Menu, Canola (mostly for last.fm streaming), a new homescreen weather map and the advanced backlighting, and a few other media players (although I've yet to use them). Obviously, I'm not a programmer, just a fidgeter with techie interests.
I do have to remember that this new device was intended for my wife, who hasn't seen it since I took over sole ownership a few days ago.
Thanks again to everyone who's piped in.

The SIP client supports Video calls too!)
