Exactly. And, just so we're clear, I wasn't trying to minimize your request. I was just attempting to point out, through this limited text medium, how I think some things are useless to attempt.

(Slight rant: why not, everyone else is) I've owned a computer of one kind or another (TI-99, CoCo 2/3, Amiga, etc) for over 20 years. As you can see from the list, most were underdogs. Before the Intarwebs, there were BBSs, and the equivalent to these forums. In every one I've ever been a member of, there has been an "Omega".

Omega, if you're still wasting your time reading this, I want to say that I understand you are frustrated. What I've never understood is why people feel the need to complain to other users, those who have little to do with your plight. It's like walking into a biker bar and yelling "You bunch of pansies!" or something. Actually, I'm sure you started this thread fully intending to generate the responses you got. Well, it was entertaining.

I paid slightly less than $400 for my N800. I've never thought of it as a waste of money. I've been frustrated, sure, but I'm also frustrated with my ATI X1300 video card because Silent Hunter 4 has choppy graphics when I turn everything on.

My point is, if you're going to complain, complain to the ones who took your money. Even if they don't listen, you were no worse off than you are here...with the possible exception of the lasting impression you made with everyone here.
(rant off. Now, I feel much better )
