I'll piggy back on this topic to ask Slashdot what I should do with some old equipment that I can't hold on to anymore... I have an Osborne Portable 1, Commie 64, TRS-80 Model 100 (with acoustic coupler), and more. I don't want to trash it, but it's not doing anyone any good sitting in storage.
Any ideas?

Actually its only five key presses (the exact same as on a regular full sized PC keyboard).
On the iPhone, you can press the "alternate keyboard" button and slide your finger to the period (or comma, question mark, etc.) and release. The period is inserted and the keyboard returns to the regular alphabet keyboard. So...
1) tap and hold "alt keyboard" key, slide to period 2) tap space 3) tap and hold "alt keyboard" key, slide to period 4) tap space 5) tap and hold "alt keyboard" key, slide to period
done. Same as on a regular keyboard:
1) type period 2) type space 3) type period 4) type space 5) type period
There seem to be a lot of whiners out there that can't accept that the iPhone is actually a pretty good device.
IANALY, but, unless they are planning to argue fraudulent misrepresentation, or similar, there is no cause of action in Texas for "Quitting".
Texas is an "at will" State. So, basically, either party can terminate the relationship without reason, cause or notice. They could walk you to the door and never tell you why. Conversely, you can walk to the door yourself, and don't need to provide notice or justification.
If you committed some negligent or criminal act, then they may have a case, but simply "quitting" your job won't get them into a Texas court.
