Oh and please chill with the personal attacks. Make your points in a respectful way, I assure you they are much more worthy this way. Going at each others throats never makes you look good, you guys. And calling names is the best way to get good points overlooked, as it makes you look greener than a preschooler.

Well, on my laptop, Vista really is a pain. I'm aware a good portion of the blame goes to HP for loading it down with junk as well as Vista, but it's much worse vs. a clean install of XP than my old laptop's OEM junk-laden 98SE vs. a clean 98SE, so either HP has gotten much worse with loading stuff down, or Vista is a bloated pig, or both. I'm inclined to suppose both.

I've not experienced any better PnP (though no worse, either), I've had perhaps fewer blue-screens, but negligibly few with either, and more features is not a good thing (unless it's the feature creep I want, of course).

I think this was his attempt at an Andrew Dice Clay impression. He got the idiot part right.

Don't worry, Maemo 5 will be more finger friendly. The device with which it ships may not even have a stylus. Hopefully, you'll have better luck keeping track of your fingers.


At least eight stylus-based devices, and I've not yet lost a single plastic stick. What do people do with these things?

I'm baffled by this question as well. Maybe they're sticking them up their noses like crayons?

Of course not. Sorry if there was any confusion. I was referring to someone else.

That reminds me of a certain Simpsons episode. It would certainly explain a lot XD.

Im very good at misplacing stuff, and far lar larger than a stylus, but so far, so good, I still own two. Had a couple of scares though. And I lost the case in university. Not that much of a loss though. I think my tablet was in far more danger when I had it.

Thanks for that.

Thought my secret identity was out.
