Thanks!

Of course I expected a few comments of these types. Admittedly a rant is not the best way to introduce yourself.

On the other hand (OTOH - I won't use anymore acronyms, apologies to those who don't know them) I basically came here because after spending quite a few hours getting scratchbox set up and then finding the Nokia site basically dead in the water, I was, you may say, a slight bit peeved. Nokia is a 143.64 Billion dollar company (current market capitalization). Since there's not really that many Nxxx devices out there, and the files are very small, I was thinking how in the world can they operate a site or server, or a company, in this type of manner. . .

That gets me really sad and dejected, since I really love my N800 and think it is one of the most significant pieces of technology to come along in quite a while. So I came here because I know Nokia devs come here also. I was hoping that maybe they would help to explain the situation and comfort my soul. I knew I'd be preaching to the choir. That was the point.

I realized before posting there had been complaints about the Nokia site. Those were from users, NOT developers. There is a VERY serious stiuation going on here if the developers cannot get the files they need. In the real linux world, and not in Nokia land, this would be akin to something like kernel.org being down.
