"You state this is a Maemo community and we are told by Nokia Maemo is dead and they have moved on to Meego so why is this community trying to keep alive a dead system when the whole world knows Meego is where Nokia are going.?"
I may have some problems with the system, sometimes, but on my N900 maemo is far from dead. I can hear it's pulsing heartbeat, and just yesterday some good person from this forum offered me help, and it made my machine whisper countless "thank you's". Just because a kid is leaving it's parents' house and no longer keeps in touch doesn't mean the kid is dead. My kid plans to stay alive for as long as possible and it will run it's parents software, regardless of whether the parents still contribute to it or not.

Thirdly and finally i have asked Mods alike for a long time now and many people have the same issues as myself with the "blame/flame/rant/pointing-fingers thing going on" (your words) so why after reviewing TMO policy is it STILL going on ? why have are the Mods allowing and encouraging this kind of behaviour on this forum?.
I haven't read the policy as I think I behave well enough to know what is done and what not. But like I said yesterday; If you're not afraid to open your mouth and take some people on, don't be surprised when you get that same thing back. Complaining about that, and especially complaining about that in PM's to mods really, really hurts your credibility. I have been a mod for a popular forum for a couple of years. Never really liked that behaviour...

Firstly it is NOT working properly because the OS will not allow it too as it battles with drivers written and becomes very snaggy indeed.
Secondly the mods mean some track cutting and linking and some quite extensive complicated close eye soldering best done under a mag and the very reason it is not suitable for users in general and i do not want to be blamed for there mistakes !.
I've read quite a few comments already from people willing to take their chances. Why won't you let them? Personally I am not interested but if this were an issue for me, I certainly would dislike the sausage you're holding up to them only to never get them a bite of it.

Please underdstand and respect my wishes as a very experianced component engineer for over 25 yrs because if i say no then that means there is problems OK !
Why is that not mutual? Reciprocity is a great thing. Really!

The way things stand now, and Texrat was right about me being a newbee on this forum, your reputation could really be enhanced by sharing the knowledge you claim to have. Also, it is very, very much in the line of the open source community. I, for one, do not claim extensive knowledge of it all, but everything I have learned about computers and programming, I learned because people were willing to put up with my lack of knowledge and share theirs.
