bacchh! don't give it a second thought lilo...it's all good.
And ya...the n800 "is all that" so-to-speak...you can do a lot of stuff with it. Gotta start somewhere....and if you want to learn how to have more control over the devices corps. want you to buy...you have an opportunity. If you want ...in the future...to have more choice than than narrow options and being fed what corps offer...you have an opportunity with the n800.
For me...wayyy back in the day ....it was before the commodore 64...tape cassette drives and having to write code !...
Left the computer world there...came back in 2003...like freakin rip-van-winkle ...saw the writing on the wall...Had to learn everything quick...Stupid me I pick windows....2007 discovered Nokia tablets...2008 realized I REALLY should have learned Linux...so...got mah lurnin and edumacation proper done
So I think of my self more as the crazy-spagetti-sieve-on-the-head-mad-scientist-steampunker-yet-with-cooler-clothes-and-gadgets-that-ACTUALLY-do-things kinda-guy
but it wasn't so long ago that I knew absolutely nothing.
In my own field of work (not maemo oriented at all) I think I am something pretty good....but here ...with these gurus and magicians...I still think I know very little compared to them...and I'm no slouch...frankly all you need is time and curiosity and you will quickly become fascinated with what you can do with these devices.
