The same was said about folks who could drive when the car first came out. Different words but the same sentiment I am sure.

I imagine the first guy to use a steam tractor in the village was considered a geek as well. The rest were sure referred to as Luddite a few decades later. Now the term Luddite came from those who objected to the use of machines in the textile industry in the 1800s

Basically all these people were the same. They feared becoming obsolete because they did not understand the new technology.

So before you continue referring to us geeks as abnormal.

Remember your the one asking for our help. And we can demo-straight what happens to people who insult and attack people who understand new tech. They fail.

HumanPenguin, Hmm nice to know this but you realize that there is huge amount of people to whom computer/technology is not tool to do work. Itīs the way to entertain yourself and some people might think that after paying quite much they left all the "hard" brain work to Nokia.

But yeah word like "Normal" is quite dangerous to use, but on some level I understood what he actually meant by using this word. Thanks to my dear lovely friends and family who keep remembering me what itīs really like to be "end user". *sigh*

I've just read through this thread. There are points on both sides and some sensible ideas about improving reactions to people getting in over their head. The one thing I am more concerned about is people simply adding testing and dev repositories willy-nilly. Is this a case of not clear enough warnings in language understood by less technically savy uses or is it just being ignored?

There is n+1 different blogs and forum thread telling people "do this and this" without giving any warnings so I would not be surprised to see more people coming here and telling that "Nokia has fck up their system"

As a result of this thread, I've decided to devote my spring break to "noobify" wiki documentation (where necessary), and creating tutorials.

Help to spread the knowledge and expand the maemo wiki. (wiki.maemo.org).

hey , hey .. you guys have to understand that not a lot of people know that you have to put some time into a this phone. I don't know anything about programing but i got this phone anyways. Love that people have the same ideas as i do but they know how to make it happened. Just remember, the more people thatlike phones like these the better funding we will have for the future ... coming out with a open phone is risky because most people don;t know how to adjust and fix and install .Please be patient with the non geeks. ( Geeks in this site is an honor to be called) that freak out . they do not know what they do ... .

I am risky but not stupid !!!!
