Alas, still no news from our majestic Ottawa transit lost and found. That was a quick auction. "Look what we found?!?!", "Going once, going twice, Sold for a buck to Egbert, the trusted keeper of all things lost on a bus in Ottawa." Bloody swine. I'm still bitter three weeks later.

This occasion has given me leave to re-evaluate my needs versus my wants in terms of mobile computing. The Nokia Internet Tablet is a bloody brilliant technology that is maturing quite nicely but I went in a different direction for a replacement; a HP 2133 netbook. I blew off Vista and installed Ubuntu and away I go; what ***** at HP thought you could run Vista on a C7M platform - that's what I want to know. 50 seconds to boot Ubuntu and 3 minutes to boot Vista - OMG!!!.

Since I just recieved my replacement unit and it's the not really a competitor to the Internet Tablet genre nor is it another Internet Tablet so I'll bid you all adieu. Thanks for having me here, everyone has been very helpful and with that I close with "please watch where you put your tablets down".
