I have been reading this thread about putting Tablet Scene to rest for a while now. I would hope it would continue because it is very useful to "newbies". I read everything on it in an attempt to learn without having to ask so many question. I found it very helpful. I would use it again if more tutorials were added.

There have been some very helpful people here to reply to some of my questions and I thank you for that. And please don't see my comments here as criticism but more of a reminder that there are a lot of us that are not geeks. We need help in simple layman's language.

I am one of those people who some of you think should not even own a Tablet because of my ignorance of the operating system and the software and applications. This is my first experience with any OS but Windows.

I use my Tablet to check my email and do a little web surfing, listen to music, play games, view my photos, etc. I also use Pigeon with my Yahoo to chat. I admit I do not know how to do most of the things talked about on this site. Many I would never have a use for. I add software using the Application Manager.

I have had my N800 for about two years and I still consider myself a "newbie". I think I will always be a "newbie" in the context that it the term is used here on this site. I am not now nor will I ever be up to you guys level.

I think there are a lot more ordinary people like me that own a Internet Tablet than the survey mentioned reflects. I know I never took the survey.
Internet School and Tablet Scene are places a "newbie" can ask question and be sure to get a simple layman's answer. The tutorials are easy to understand.

There are a lot of nice people on this site that try to help us "newbies" but often the replies are still over our heads, too technical. Possible it is assumed we already know things we do not know or abbreviations are used and I for one do not always know what they stands for.

I see a lot of people being told to "SEARCH". I always search first and there have been many times nothing comes us on the topic I am interested in when I search. I keep trying by entering different words and phrases. At times it will be a topic that I have read about on here in the past but when I search to find it again I can not find it. So although search is a wonderful tool if you are not entering the right words it brings no results or the wrong results. So please don't assume a person has not done the search when they ask a question. Possibly they have.

There are some things I would like to add to my Tablet like maps, Nintendo DS games and movies but I still do not feel confident that I understand what I have read on here about how to do these things.

I have learned a lot of things by reading these forums and I have received help on these forums but there is still a huge need for Tablet Scene and Internet Tablet School.
So I thank those of you that take the time to help "Newbies" like me. Please don't stop!
Thanks, Kat
