Not sure. The image browsing is a bit buggy too -- very slow compared to Quiver, displaying the stock images that come with OS2008.

Backup the important files to your computer, not using the Backup software (in any case, I've heard that upgrading from OS2007 -> OS2008 has flaws, so you should only back up your documents, videos etc. -- perhaps bookmarks are fine too)

Would be nice to be able to have a location string that includes more than 1 commas too.

Keyboard is almost big enough for touch-typing, but the rubber surface and the closeness of the keys mean either keypresses do not register (esp. space), or you accidentally spread out your fingers and miss the intended key by one.

I really should have backed up to the PC, or double-checked the backup before wiping everything. Can't wait for the external memory card to arrive so I don't have to store things on internal flash anymore.
Goodbye, AT&T Wi-fi passphrase..

He had the audience getting more sympathetic to him until that point too. The good thing about bumbling autocrats of all stripes is that they can't fool knowledgeable, right-thinking people for long. Ditto with Bush, Chavez, Morales etc.

Hope you'll still hang around itT no matter what.. good luck with any job move!

Ouch. What ails you?

Hehe. Yeah, it was a bit hairy, making the connection at Dulles, but after that it was quite smooth sailing. Apart from wondering why Doha, Qatar still does not have any passenger ramp (good thing we disembarked and reëmbarked during the night)
Where exactly do you work in NC, by the way? Lots of neat companies at the Research Triangle Park.

About time! I'm still on the previous build, since I forgot to bring my micro-USB cable on vacation, and Internet access is slow here in any case, so will not update until January. Application Manager has been behaving strangely recently; have had to update using gainroot and apt-get
