these things are sold mass market for the (unwashed in the Blood of the Programmer). Can K-Mart be far behind (?)

Judging by all the hassle Doug reported earlier - esp. re the M/Sloth engined iPAQ as worst example! (however nice its other featurz) I wonder: WTF are the vendors Thinking?

If I read correctly - the iPAQ wouldn't have functioned without Lots of setup - even on a Full-Billy type system - without arcane and multiple changes from defaults. What do you call stupid defaults?

And - why should you have to go find an other-supplied patch to make your (new?) one function. Too?

As in {sheesh}. I pondered a few possible uses for one of these toys, but..


Glad you lucked in, anyway :-)
