Like I said, I don't fail to adapt, but I merely tolerate the adaptations and they irritate rather than excite me. What interests me is getting full versions of desktop software running on mobile platforms. The first handheld web server I saw was impressive. Now I run full asterisk on Maemo -- pretty cool stuff!
