    I still believe that the Sony Palm Pilot's operating system is by far superiour to the other offerings. As it stands Linux and MS have very worthwhile offerings, but memory management tends to be a problem with both, with Linux's big foot print and all. It is also rather expensive to consider Microsoft.

    NIGGER!!!! FUCK ALL NIGGERS!! I am tired of having my tax dollars go into the pockets of some fat nigger bitch with twelve kids, just so that they can still afford the newest "gear" from Hecht's. You know, that Jay-Z or P Diddy bullshit. Fucking niggers, I swear........

    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.

    but do any of you people actually use these things for something other than overglorified Game Boys and listening to pirated MP3s? That's what I thought.

  5. 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.

    While this is true... this is also Slashdot, you will be modded down for pointing out reality to these nerds living in a techno fantasy world.
