Yeah accusing you of emacs-ism was a bit harsh. Sorry about that

I had horrible problems with erminig. It almost ruined my calendar. I tried to help by reporting bugs, but I can't afford that time. Despite some serious effort to develop it, it's struggling; I view it as a bandaid solution - GPE calendar isn't that great, and, again, with loads of evident work and effort, isn't getting anywhere. I blame the "committee design". I've seen a few times on the mailing list someone propose an idea (with code) and it either goes nowhere or gets squashed.

I am almost tempted to get both, and use the n800 for laptop-y things. I know what would happen though, is that I'd realize the laptop-y things can usually wait until I get home, and I just wouldn't use the n800 at all. I'm not ready to cut that cord yet.

P.S. Keep laughing...!
