Wallace Stevens says you don't actually have to say goodby.

"That would be waving and that would be crying,
Crying and shouting and meaning farewell,
Farewell in the eyes and farewell at the centre,
Just to stand still without moving a hand."

Hellos and goodbyes are nice.

They're signs of courtesy.

That's why they're so out of place in the internets.

I don't know exactly what I am "doing" here on this site, but it is good info about Maemo/MeeGo and Nokia. AAS is 1 billion times more sober and reflected, and dear i say - intelligent and savvy about Nokia, but.

What I want to say is that technologies come and go, some are cool, some are successful, very few are both. Nokia is a technology company that got a bit lost and confused when suddenly smartphones became mainstream. But Nokia got the coolest technology, nothing else comes close (well, Bada and the Wave is close). The N9 is one of the coolest devices ever, and more will come, there definitely is a niche out there that Nokia wants to exploit, even though Maemo (as we know it) is coming to an end.

But nobody goes any where! They're* still there*! At their* computer!

Even if you're really leaving, "Good afternoon, good evening and good night" is better.

Yeah, sadly I can watch that kind of stuff all day. And even more sadly, "The Matrix" farting stuff is my favorite. Fun with the kids.

Oooer !.

I can certainly see where you're coming from but for sure I would rather say my goodbyes to people I know that I would or hear from again for a long time, like some of the missing regulars here ;(.

ps: btw reports of my passing is greatly exaggerated !.

I'll have what he's having.
