Like the subject didn't tell you it was off topic?

I talked myself into getting the Nokia 770 today, tried to buy local
but nothing so I went online and almost everyplace had the Nokia 770
for around $280US, then I got lucky and found it for $144US new with
free shipping, sweet (problably being dumped from inventories because
of the newer N800 and even a newer version around the corner, but I
really like the anodized black look of the 770 as I have seen and held
it). Also found an anodized black aluminum case for it online. It is
going to look cool, very cool. And best of all it runs the Linux
operating system, no fricken M$-Winblows on it whatsoever! It is
going to be so much easier to this lightweight wifi unit into my
pocket, bike to the wifi cafe, do my work online, bike home (I have to
bike uphill 10 blocks coming home so not having to lug my heavy laptop
is going to be a nice change). Looks like the OS version and such can
be upgraded on the Nokia, so hopefully that will keep the flashplayer
upgraded for surfing the net. Also has handwriting recognition, a
virtual keyboard, pan and zoom, streaming audio off the web, I am
quite excited at the notion of having a linux based handheld PC. (now
if I can only get it to some of the stuff from the Fantastic Four
movie, but that could take more than this one geek to accomplish such
comic series magic!)

One of the things I've seen mentioned on other newsgroups is
"this NG is also for [topic here] enthusiasts".

"who the **** cares?" -Dan C
Now that part's a valid comment. :)

"his post was about linux" -Dan N
That's right. IMO :)

His post had a "Trekkie feel" to it but we got room for that
stuff too, ain't we?

Alvin should shut the **** up in AZ? :)
