Hehehe
ya and the 5th, 6th and 7th wonders of the device world were the n770, n800 and n810
hm....I believe that will change concerning devel on the neo900...that will be quite fun...wheee. open vistas await!
Dave and Handaxe ...hmmm...I've been following to a greater or lesser extent the probs and ya it can at times be befuddling.

And I know I'm not wearing rose-colour-glasses....
trying to expect a wonderland of impossible happiness and everyone holding hands and singing Kumbaya ...
but I have no doubt whatsoever that everyone could and should be treating each other better...

If people can't....
Then another certainty I do know is...
inevitably this place will implode....
regardless of any perfect cog-and-gear working model of rules and protocols we have.

And if that happens ...if we have people fighting and arguing who is going to pilot the ship and who gets the stateroom and who gets to sit at the captain's table at dinner...
Bickering ....
WHILE the ship is going down...
I don't care if those people are right or wrong.
It says volumes of both or multiple said parties ....

Lastly my own personal certainty ...my line in the sand is ...I will not be interested in being a part of any future community involving said parties...whatsoever..
..I may be odd, wacky, unhinged...hell even downright crazy...but I'm no idiot..the same thing will occur.

Simply...inevitably ...boiled down to a single common denominator ...
It's about the individual's investment ...
It isn't about buying an n800 or n9 or n900...or whatever and expecting service or support...or something...
it's not just about a device line,
the devel,
the testing, how much can be done ...etc...
it isn't just that..
it's investing in a very powerful.... intangible.... "ethic" ...a belief...
....as a consequence it's also about investing in time....
in "a" future...
in a community...
And if any community of individuals proves beyond-a-shadow....
that they have no future...
then no one will invest their time...

on a lighter note...ya mscion...speaking of time......not long now...can't wait...
