    what makes you think I use vi or notepad ?

    make change in html
    right click some text I have prepared such as http://test_site/a.html
    watch browser reload page, maybe even on a different machine, or, if I have set it up so I can watch this little parade :

    watch IE on my laptop reload the page, watch Mozilla on OpenBSD monitor two reload the page, watch it reload on my PDA while in it's cradle and look in my log window for any error logging, all with one click.

    If there are any errors I can right click on them and have the relevant source code open up at the line in question.

    In place editing of html elements, well, if it works for you, go for it. I'll spend $400 on something else.

    I don't think anyone ever tests their software with the taskbar anywhere but at the bottom.

    I run mine at the top because, well, that's where it should be =)

    and the amount of times I've had to turn on auto-hide or somesuch just so I can ge to the control boxes of applications. The stupid "we know best" attitude where they don't enable alt-space (Winamp for instance) for moving windows via the keyboard really winds me up.

    Makes it worse after using elightenment and pressing alt-left-click to move windows around or 9wm/rio's right-click move/resize.

    "windows has superior ease of use" is usually said by people that haven't tried anything else

    SyncML is supposed to be the glue between smart phone and the world

    but good luck with that, my Nokia helpfully converts the XML to somem crazy binary format. I've tried reading the copious 9and I mean copious) docs from the SyncML group and W3. I've captured the binary and chucked it into a HEX viewer but I'm convinced that they've pulled an MS and implemented a format that's the same but different such that I can't decode it (or perhaps it's me)

    I've found SyncML programs that do the ASCII/utf-8 version of SyncML but the phone doesn't like it.

    The only Smarts I wanted from my phone was the ability to auto-feed my ebay auctions into the calendar and set alarms. Even Python for Symbian is locked out of the calendar database. This story hints towards and even bleaker future where I am locked out of tinkering with my own data for want of a, no doubt pricey, certificate :

    But the most controversial aspect of Series 60 v3 has clearly been introduced at the request of nervous operators: certification. Applications without certification won't be able to reach into the address book or use connectivity facilities.
