Aaron,
IMHO, I'm saddened by your comments because, as opposed to the other commenter, I believe you.
I would have loved this "box" had they used soft graffiti and opened up to a keyboad, instead of opening to a hard graffiti area. Just some gentle reflection on the useability, again IMHO, would have relegated this idea to the "Thanks for the idea - NEXT!" column.
The i705 would have been just that much better had they put soft graffiti in the box (a more powerful IR port and sound _recording_ capabilities would have also made this the best).
Anyway, just my two cents (okay, maybe three or four)
Mark
My two cents (i.e. some from my bookshelf)...

Hmmmm.... I've made a good living fixing the systems of the "programmers" who learned (Basic, C, C++, Delphi, etc..) in a week. I just don't buy it. I've seen hundreds of lines of code produced, when one call to a built-in function would do. I've also seen hours of searching for a similar function wasted because it was in one language and not the other. Don't get me wrong, cross-over does help. But not a the level you speak of. Experience is the key.
One of the Network guys there told me that Argonne http://www.anl.gov has the largest. They appear to have a couple of very large buildings that contain Linux desktops exclusively.

Thanks for the info, but the one remaining, interesting, figure is _profit_. What percentage is that?
