Re: WTB: Nokia N810 (Toronto Canada)

Tiger Direct has them. www.tigerdirect.ca

A bit more than you want to pay though.


(I know a fellow in Toronto who might want to sell his N800. Send me a pm if you want to pursue this.)

Re: Diablo Released - Say Goodbye to Firmware Flashing

I've managed to reinstall all of my old programs with the exception of one: Gnumeric. I've set the distribution to chinook, but it still won't install. Any ideas?
