Guys ..
I know I have guffaw-ed a few times here concerning some good lines and all.
and personally it's a mixed bag for me...the Jolla ..that is..since I wouldn't have minded one...but the support and sales were (naturally due to the horrid climate of control and nightmare of dealing with and..) in the North American market.
And so was pretty much shut out of the fun.
On the same token I am glad I didn't have to go through the horror stories some of you have....
and I do understand it is difficult....
especially for a new endeavour ...
to please and accommodate everyone.

As far as all that goes...

I do truly hope that no matter what...
the os's and developments in question ..
Sailfish, Nemo...and Mer...
continue and flourish..
no matter the physic downfalls.
Disembodied and able to function on other hardware is inevitably more cost efficient , has a higher chance of longevity, and has a better chance of survival than trying to "do it all" like so many much larger companies have learned ...just is too much.

And lastly...
past all the (well justified or not) complaints of many...

I know it has been mentioned...

but at this time I would like to extend my most heartfelt to the employees who have been laid off and those who worked or are STILL working for little or no pay ...
It bloody well breaks my heart to see this crap happening at all...
let alone before Christmas.
Running through my mind right at this moment comparably is a tune from a great (for a long time) unknown who sang of losing his job 2 weeks before Christmas ...(and in fact did by the grimmest of chance...lose his gig with the record label ...2 weeks before Christmas...)
And it is about as wrenching as all this makes me feel.
