You're trying to make Windows into a Unix, but it's not. Most of your questions make no sense in a Windows context. It's very, very different. It would be so much easier to buy a book than to browse the web. That's how people learn the basi

A pan-European plan for the iPhone so that I could actually use the phone while travelling.

You would if you owned one. Why _we_ would want to, I have no clue.

Did you discuss this in private with 37signals before attacking them in public?

With iPhone OS 3 due this summer, Skype should be able to rely on the notification service for taking incoming calls. It would notify the user that there's a call waiting and let you open Skype to accept it.

My 12 year old niece has one. She uses it for school and absolutely loves it. A normal laptop would have been too heavy for her to carry around all day, and the netbook's keyboard is a better size for her. I would love to have one myself f
