The thing is, if you are loyal and love your Z, all this side crap is meaningless, but the point is valid, you always get people (usually in the country with the greatest consumer fanatics) that love to buy-buy-buy and are never happy, maybe they should chill and take a more buddhist view of life, who knows, but to vex one\'s self over these side issues?, they are meaningless... and some people can never be satisfied with what they have, it\'s not in their world-view at all.
Notice a posting above from a chap, I\'ve ran into on more than one occasion, most of his postings are regarding other hardware, always looking for something else, and always will be, caught in a endless loop of buying, entering PIM data, bitching/fault finding and wanting more.
I expect to be using my Z five years from now, and if I can get as many years from the Z as I did my 200LX (the best part of a decade) I will. I\'d consider a new Z in a few years if it was really worth it. The quiet majority of Z lovers will do the same. I wanted this kind of machine for the last 10 years, I won\'t give it up just yet.
Chill mentat_bashah. I mean, this piece of bloated crap runs XP! If this had Linux and loaded my book reader in a second or my word processor within a second, I\'d look at it again, but it\'s a PC, with all the warts, a laptop running XP, let the lemmings go chasing it, off a cliff...
Some people just do not get it (like some people who cannot understand why Sharp don\'t sell/support the Z globally - not difficult to understand), at all, many buy a LINUX pda because we hate f***ing Microsoft and their stupid XP stuff, grrr. But if that\'s not an issue, please, please sell your Z\'s and move on.
Who\'s idea was it for an off-topic forum? ;-) O.R.G?? :-)
