[ubuntu-us-in] Gutsy Release Party

[Robert]

I like that idea, but alas, we just broke bread on world communion 
Sunday, and doing it so soon just wouldn't be ... well, the way it is done.

Now for my newest rant:

Just got a PDA phone with Windows Mobile installed. It will not let me 
sync contacts or calender unless I am running M$ Outlook! What a 
ripoff!! So I thought, "I wonder if UBUNTU might allow me a work 
around?" But, alas, it will not *see* it. Fortunately, my daughter has a 
copy I of Outlook I can use, but then I am stuck with two M$ programs 
that I HAVE to use. If I said, "Mark of the beast" would I be too 
extreme? :-!     I knew I should have gone with a Palm OS, but this same 
daughter said I would LOVE it. RRRRRRR.

I wonder if the Linux gurus are planning a Windows Mobile compatible 
software package somewhere? I am sure they are not. Now, do i keep the 
phone or put it back on ebay? Time will tell.

BTW, the terminal is very powerful and you can do lots of stuff and can 
do the same stuff remotely, but one has to have a good memory to 
remember all the hieroglyphics and command characters for it to be 
useful. I would much rather click a few more icons or gui's, then page 
through volumes seeking the command line for each little tweak. So what 
is the command to set the mouse to single click? (I set everything to 
single click cuz I just think it is a waste of energy to have to click 
twice.)

Okay, I will stop whining. I set up the Broadcom in 6.10 then in 7.04 
and 7.10. Yes, much better along with the printing interface. I am 
really loving it all.

I give 7.10 a 9 out of 10 so far. I would give it a 10 if I could run 
Street and Trips and sync to my Pocket PC.

Soon and very soon, I am going to see the king (of OSes). And it won't 
be M$.

/me slips back into the corner.
