i think most of the people who gravitate towards apple, and who are frustrated with the n800 are the non-geeks.

honestly, there is no other program than photoshop - gimp doesn't even come close to the high end features that CS3 provides, but i still love gimp for what it offers FOR FREE!

that said, i miss my old universities computer labs.

as for apple - you turn it on and everything works seamlessly - non of this "reflash this, install that" - Ubuntu is trying to get there, but it's a long ways off.

I sold my powerbook because it was too expensive to upgrade, but that doesn't mean i don't miss it.

the n800 is still a geek toy, i'm having fun with it - but you have to admit, it seems really half-assed from Nokia, considering the well rounded quality and professionalism of their other products -

part of this must be from the growing pains of trying to go open source, but at some point, you just want pda functionality - that's the complaint you see over and over on these boards, and the only real response you get (other than the cop-out, "deal with it, it's not a pda") is to use GPE, which frankly, isn't very robust for 2500 full detailed contacts.

people bash outlook and M$, but I'm seeing little in terms of robust alternatives, especially here in the n8X0 series.
