Fixed that for you.

If I were you, I would have really conflicted feelings: "MeeGo is so cool!" and "I spent a lot of time on something that might not live on!" But I agree with the approach of spending time where it seems most profitable, even if it seems like ADHD to some. If MeeGo on the N8x0 is really a credible option, then it seems like that's the approach that has the most future to it. Plus, there's the whole issue of reducing fragmentation & redundant open-source projects. But it's a judgment call.

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, Dan, or why you are choosing this forum to try to accomplish it. Are you sure you're talking to the right people?
