Like anything else, it has it's moments. Currently I work in NorCal...lots of money to be made if you can do the work...and can handle all the freekin drug addicts...
I understand what you mean, but I have found quite a few uses for mine. I'm a nurse working in an ER. I have a pretty extensive Drug Reference in mine, via ePocrates. I also have several databases containing various sets of lab values and another very large database concerned with pediatric patients: normal vital signs, differences in drug dosing, etc. I used to lug around a back pack with 2 or 3 references for the same material and since I have to know a little about everything working in the emergency room, clipping my palm to my waist has been a great time saver. Plus with my new Tungsten and the MP3 stuff and video stuff...I can just play a clip of Spongebob for a child and that shot I just gave them didn't seem quite so bad...
I never once made and detrimental comment reguarding this man's hobby. I suppose the greater question would be, why are you so damn defensive about it? I express my opinion, which was "Holy Shite" and all of a sudden I'm a prick?!? (And I doubt it was all of a sudden as it's a position that I have been nurturing for years) I can make comments about that and I'm sure that people would make the same comments about some of my hobbies. I think what he did was fairly cool. But, I also feel that what he did borders on the extreme of fan dom...just like learning the elvish language is fairly extreme...IMO. Then again..somewhere I have buried a copy of the Klingon dictionary...so I speak from experience and understanding. And once again...if I post something you don't like...please feel free to go fuck yourself instead of reply.
I appreciate his efforts just fine. I just stated that this is a bit extreme...and last I checked, I could comment on anything I wanted. If you don't like my comments, you're free not to respond to them.
Ah yes...I'm a prick cause I have neither the time nor the money to waste on such projects...sorry...forgot about that...thpppt... Now build yourself a life partner.

This must be a new use of the word "cool" with which I am not yet familiar. I also revel in my own geek-hood...but holy shite....
