Agreed. It's all about the hard drive. My Pocket PC has 64 MB RAM and a 256 MB SD card. That is not enough. Not if I want to have any audio or video on it. So, I'm taking a close look at dumping it in favor of a new iPod.
It works for me, too. I'm a Gnome user and I don't have any complaints against it. No, Gnome doesn't *need* to do anything. Maybe I should have said it "If Gnome wants to gain desktop users . . " I shouldn't assume that the folks on the Gnome project are trying to gain ground in the desktop market. But that's my hope for them. I want to see a desktop environment that's as easy to use as Windows XP, so that Linux can be a viable option for end users who are fed up with MS security problems. I think it's getting close.
There is a difference between users and developers. Regular users can't fork it. They don't even know what CVS is. Gnome needs to cater to users who don't know the first thing about what's under the hood. It needs to just work. That's still one of the reasons that Linux hasn't dented the desktop market.

"Why is it allways Apple that's involved with those rumours? Apples should better hire better PR guys or stop getting benefits from so called rumours."
I'm sure Apple really hates to have the whole tech community talking about them. It's probably their PR guys that are leaking all these tidbits.
I just fixed a co-worker's Win98 computer. I cleared out spyware, dropped in a 32 MB RAM stick I had laying around, installed Firefox, AVG Free and a few freeware kids games. She asked how much I owed her and I said $30 or $40 should be plenty. She gave me $50.

Not as funny as Yoda's Blog.

I only hope we don't have to go to war with the plecostomi to protect our financial interests.
