No, but what you did say was, "If you want something practical to get real 
work done, go elsewhere."  My dad uses his to get real work done.  Just becuase
you can't get any real work done is no reason to say that no one can.

I'm sorry.  Arn't you the guy who keeps harping about how people in the
real world are not willing to carry around big bulky things?  Perhaps you
should go back and read some of your old posts.  If you think that palmtops are
too big to carry around all the time, then why are you suggesting notebook
sized machines?

By the way, you keep going on and on about how we will "see the light" as shown
by Jim when we get out in the work world.  Speaking as someone who finished
college six years ago, I was wondering, when should I expect the divine
revalation?
