well he always suggested someone to help out in the forums and once threatened to leave us so he can spend more time with his zaurus.

I could of sworn i saw him yesterday on top of mount chimichanga browsing the net through my google earth.

Great poll!  I was temped to not reply for a while to see what other theories people come up with

I took a new job last June and it has just taken over my life.  It's been regular 60 hr weeks for several months now.   I'm looking to hire more people to help with the work load, hopefully it will get to a normal level soon.

Regarding the OQO - I actually don't like it nearly as much as my c1000.  I bought it so that I can have a mini laptop for work use (unfortunately working for a large company forces me to use windows).  Although it is nice to see it boot into ubuntu.  My biggest gripes with the OQO are 1) the screen isn't bright enough; 2) the keyboard just sucks (crappy for typing, buttons are too hard to push, not spaced well); and 3) the fan spins up quite loud.  Makes it quite annoying when in meetings at work (it sounds like a model airplane taking off).

I'm going to sell the OQO and looking at getting a thinkpad instead.

Thanks for the mini-review; I knew there was a reason besides cost I wouldn't really want an OQO. And I guess I was right, you really are working too hard!
