I've tried to use Vista. I've watched a friend's Vista laptop shutdown for 30 minutes! Apart from the eye candy, nothing much to write home about. But that's a longer discussion. >> 3G?

But surely one of the more tiresome aspects of technology offerings these days is the thinking that if you throw enough 'features' into the bowl, you end up with a good product. No sense of unity, no sense of identity anymore. Gets boring. One of the best nokia's I've used recently is the lowly 6230. It is simple, yet has a couple of charming additions, well-integrated. > eb > _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
