I confused, when did I say I was everyone?

I agree with you on that point. I made that comment because of these two:

Well, Nokia resistive touch screens are hardly much worse than its capacitive screens, and we are discussing Nokia hardware here, so what is your point?
Hmm, the "Add in..." sentence was supposed to be a quote from a previous statement I made, in which I was discussing modern phones in general. I did not intend to imply that the N9 should have capacitive or resistive. Sorry about the confusion, it should be fixed now.

To be clear, this:

is what I was originally responding to. That post was in itself a reply to the complaint of a possible capacitive touch screen in the N9 and therefore the loss of stylus use. As far as I'm concerned, that's a valid complaint, especially since rash.m2k seems to want/need Easy Debian. I don't really care if the N9 has capacitive or resistive, as long as its a decent quality touch sensor (being N series I'd be surprised if it wasn't) I'd probably want the device anyway. Although it would be great if it had infrared.

Anyway, I'm still not entirely sure why the average doctor/lawyer/(insert highly educated non-IT job here) would need to run Debian on his/her phone. Perhaps benny1967 could enlighten me?
