Yep: however, ITT's forums -are- the source of reference information right now, because so much of it is in flux.

and
2) Weight 'Good Stuff'
and 'Crap'
by the number of posts of the person pressing the button and sort the posts accordingly. That way folks like the General and Milhouse could instantly promote/demote an item.

I'm not actually going to bother quoting G.A.'s previous post, but thanks for writing it so I didn't have to!
(OT: You mentioned "emulators and other cool stuff" --- I personally think emulation on the tablets is a waste, as it requires some real magic to get it working at acceptable speeds, and I'd say that magic is better applied to A2DP/MPlayer/EFL. Not that I wouldn't play Chrono Trigger on the damn thing, but I've already got it on my PSP and my DS and my PSX and my...etc.)

Search sucks. What'd be nice, is if someone gets a useful answer regardless of how long they''ve been here, add it to the Wiki. Community goes both ways, helped and helping. If you're helped, why not give back by helping (and making the wiki a useful thing.) The eeeuser.com wiki is awesome for example and covers 3 OSes.
I'm also stickin by that thread I posted about troubleshooting. The forum is 97% troubleshooting literally 99% of it is all over the place. True it'd be the most active area and the rest would be near vacant of activity but jeeze. Neat stuff that isn't troubleshooting is completely lost.

A gathering of crows is a murder, a gathering of witches is a coven, a gathering of n00bs is a forum. A few dedicated people moving threads out of the main view could still go a long way.
