OK, post
as you like, provided the list owner doesn't object.
But I (and
others) reserve the right to ignore people who go against the
accepted
conventions of this list.
Its great that many folks can now pick up the list whenever and
whereever on their smartphones. However its really sad how
limited in
some areas these
Actually, I can't understand why anyone would choose to use a
computational device where they can't run the software they want,
including software they've wrirten themselves. But anyway..
Quite so, but most folks don't want to write software they want something
that works just enough so they can do what they want to do. They don't ask
"is there a choice of apps" just "is there an app". Even worse is
the
removal of programming interfaces from web browsers, so on a desktop PC I
can happily order an iPhone or iPad from Tesco (think UK equivalent of
Wallmart) on their web site. If I want to order anything on an iPhone I
can't I need the Tesco "app". Yuk
Note unlike the Apple iPhones and Tablets my Xperia has a setting that I can
press to allow me to install my own software. Its not "rooted" which means
it has to be nice well behaved software but you can install things you have
written youself. The development kit also seems to be freely available.

Some Experia X8 with Android 2.1. So if you
insist on
ignoring things
that we can't change then you may well miss
some interesting, but
wrongly trimmed e-mails.
Ah, you sligthly misunderstood me. If I can read something, I
will do so.
If it provids me with useful information, I will make use of
it. But if
it#'s asking for information and goes against the
conventions, then I am
not going to bother to tke the time to untagle it and then
What does "untagle" mean? I thought I was the only one whose brain went
faster then their fingers...
.. or is it something you have to do with paper tape to get it to spool...
provide the
information.
