No one noticed the slew of MIDS/UMPCs shown by Intel today?
Almost ALL of them based upon Linux?
I think Nokia showed these other companies that yes, Virginia, a Linux-based internet tablet CAN work well and provide good battery life.

I was going to mention this, but then my 7 week old child wanted me to bounce with him on the exercise ball. I was a little distracted... happily so! =)

It's good to see that there will actually be *real* competitors to the n800/770 rather soon.

Mr. Jobs isn't very tolerant of problems that cast Apple in a negative light.
Yea, I can take a macbook apart and change the heatsink in about 5 minutes now.

Sorry, I don't live with my mom. It's just hard to read your posts, maybe if you used correct punctuation and capitalization. I guess you haven't got to that in school yet. Oh yea, your mom says "Hi".
