I don't support any PCs, but I do run a network with three-thousand of them connected, does that count? I'm not a linux professional, nor am I any OS professional - I leave that to the OS guys - but I still get along just famously with both my Tablet and its Diablo OS.

It's true that flash does not run fast enough on some sites - making the BBC news website a particular pain in the ***, but that's easily got around by leaving it disabled, using a low-graphics version or a little greasemonkey/user css.

All in all though I fail to see what is so bad about either the ITs or Diablo. They are small-format devices that are hugely customisable, good all-rounders and easy to fit in a pocket. I can understand why people have strong feelings about them - in both directions.

Davidsco27, I am speaking directly to you here for a moment, although it is also applicable in a more general sense which is why I am not PM'ing it: Leaving aside any personal feelings I might have, they aren't relevant or appropriate in this forum, may I humbly suggest that if you find the device and its operating system so insufferable then you find a combination that is more appropriate to your particular set of requirements? You do seem to have a somewhat mercurial relationship with your Internet Tablet - almost Latin in its intensity - and I can't help feeling that you may be better served by a different device.

I don't mean this in a negative way, I just genuinely feel that given the posts you have made here, this obviously isn't the device for you. That's not to imply that you aren't good enough for it, or that it isn't good enough for you, merely that it isn't the device you want.
