The iPhone is supposed to arrive towards the end part of June. They haven't announced an exact date yet. That's the one that I'm waiting for. Don't try any of the WindowsMobile devices, they really aren't good, I used an 8125 for most of last year until it died about a week ago so I'm using a RAZR V3i until the iPhone comes out and I can snag one.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. We're having a blast recording it. We are watching Ice Pirates and Terror Firmer on Sunday to prep for the next episode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Treo running Linux appeals to me, and perhaps a fair amount because it'll come with Opera. I'm kinda easy that way.
Then, the iPhone is just so freaking sexy, but there is the lack of keyboard thing.

Yeah, I'm curious about the keyboard thing on the iPhone, but historically Apple gets UI very right, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's going to work quite well.

Hey. New board.
ita, where are you finding information about a Treo with linux? I can't find anything about such a device in my googling...
Because that sounds cool.

Wants an iPhone very badly but will not be switching back to Cingular until I can pay $20 a month for unlimited internet or less, and I keep hearing we won't be able to unlock iPhones.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I can't find the exact article where I learnt about Palm and Linux (you're harshing my mellow, Scola!), but it was a result of searching for info about running Opera on a Palm (it's lovely on my phone, but too small), and apparently they've licensed their software to Palm for a new set of Treos. That would be Linux-based.
Fuck--if my router can run Linux, why can't my phone or PDA?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So the printers.conf file apparently doesn't list the Dave mappings in it. I ended up just spending the morning deleting and recreating the printers on all the Macs. At least it's done. Thanks for the attempted help.
To answer the question as to why we're using Dave, I was told it was because Tiger apparently has some authentication issues where Windows print servers are concerned. The other work-around they tried was to add the Microsoft AD username and password to the printers.conf file, but that meant having to redo it every 90 days on each computer when the users AD passwords expired. Using Dave was easier.

How do you get rid of the folders of OS uninstall info in Windows XP? I'm pretty sure I'm not rolling back 95% of it, ever, and I'm looking desperately for space on my C drive.
