Just like your buddy GA.
I was a computer lab assistant in high school for 3 years (which basically involves helping people do simple things with computers for 40 minutes a day), and worked the infodesk at a bookstore for another (overlapping) 4, which is about as generic a help desk as they come.
Please, keep your assumptions and your cultural ******** out of discussions in which they aren't relevant.

You also don't think your computer should have serial or parallel ports (you said so)
and your TV should not have more than one way for video to get in (you don't want Svideo or other connectors on it).
You hate having choices to make
take away ports (your idea of a future NiT would have no USB port, right?).
Yours would be a Cray with 4 RS232, 2 RS432, 8 USB ports, 2 ethernet, 1 DVI-D, 1 VGA. Because choice is good...
(****, I forgot HDMI.)

Buy a new remote control.

No wait, you did neither, you bought a second hand device with no knowledge of its usage history, and you complain it doesn't work. Sherlock!

But you're right. In Holland everybody rides a bicycle equipped with a little bell. Everyone eats cheese. A garden without a windmill is a golf terrain.

Too many buttons. They're actually banned here. The Dutch have a too low IQ to handle 'em.

Actually I love The Netherlands, and the people. I'd like to visit there again.

My feelings BELONG in any thread where the Future of the Internet Tablet is deliberated, especially once worshipers of the iPhone chime in.
If the iPhone is seen as something to aspire to, the future of NiT will die.
You want to break the iPhone (as a device) apart from this discussion and steer the conversation toward features instead....go ahead....iPhone loses there as well.
You mention religion.....I laugh.....Steve Jobs has minds like yours so distorted by his dogma, it is you who is the victim of some religious blindness. Svengali....if you don't know the meaning, look it up.
I see things as they are.... I believe you see things as they compare to the iPhone (your Holy Grail).
As I said earlier in this thread, if Nokia is to learn anything from Apple, it would be to pervert it's behavior into that of thieves, liars, and hype artisans. Apple has a rich history in all of it (the thefts, the lies, the hype without substance)...and you seem to worship them. I hope Nokia does NOT allow itself to be influenced by it...or by those like you.
Everyone on this form is a IT lover and that why they are here.
But again most of them here are also open to seeing what is good elsewhere and admit it and debate it and discuss it, instead of trolling on inccesantly without adding a penny's worth to the actual discussion.
Also as a side note : I think you must be incredibly daft - to not understand the context of what is said and instead infer your own biased and assumed thoughts into people mind. Next time read the threads 2 times and if you still do not understand read it again. Believe me reading is a very good thing.

Pfff. Pissing contest? I meant RS232. The term serial port is usually used in reference to RS232 just like people use the term IDE in reference to PATA.

Sorry you fail to understand that much of what I contributed here IS related to the Future of the IT as I would like it to take shape.
