Ah, the specifics, then: * Browse the Web * Read and write e-mail * Write and build programs and libraries, mostly in C and Haskell: Haskell compiler, VCS, various little utilites * Build various other programs: kernels, compilers, Web browsers, e-mail clients, window systems, others * Encrypt and decrypt data: PGP, SSH, TLS * Do symbolic computations: solve equations and such * Do numeric computations: now light; potentially very heavy in near future, e.g. computational fluid dynamics * Potentially CAD: mechanical, if I ever find or write CADware not grievous to use; and possibly electrical * Play music * Watch movies * Play games: mostly first-person shooters, flight simulators, arcade games * Typeset documents, mostly with LaTeX I know that much that I wish to do is not yet feasible on stock P9, but I hope to either do it myself or procrastinate until someone else does (^_^) Cheers, strake
