    Ah, the semiotics of the pocket protector. So which 'gadget' are you? A nerf gun? A USB storage pen? Or something sexy? Double-headed and runs on batteries?

    Comparing it to Windows will be a moot point, since El Dorado is going to have a 40% larger code base than XP.
  3. Who needs a "Palm" device of ANY kind? by realmolo · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I have yet to meet anyone that owns one of these things that wouldn't be better served by just having either a) a $.69 Mead notebook and a Bic or b) a notebook computer Most fall into category 'a'. It seems to me that the vast majority of people who claim to "need" a palmtop computer are just looking to gain some of the "look at my expensive gadget" attention they used to be able to get with a cellphone or pager. I challenge ANYONE to convince me that they "need" a computer to keep track of their appointments and phone numbers. Pen and paper works better. And if you actually need computer functionality, you should have a notebook computer.
