First .."camp gerbick " I see as the bastion of sober second thought.
Secondly ..your history of devices is a mirror to my own ..we both have seen a great deal happen here ...
I also have hope for our future ...
I'm just saying ..that the time for talk of wishing or endless debate ...and I mean ENDLESS DEBATE..
such topics as this have been ongoing here for more than half a decade now!!!!!!!
Enough is enough ..
I think it past time to actually do something tangible than this perpetual mental masturbation ....
To coin a phrase ...
It's time ...
To sh#t....
Or get off the pot....

Third ...
I do not see things grimly....
It is what it is...
Yes great development is occurring ....
Is it enough?
I for years thought so ...
No longer...
Our devices are aging....they will not last forever ..
We either are able to migrate our os's to mainstream devices...
Or it is certain extinction for maemo....
Plain and bloody simple.
