When I bought this damn thing, I thought that I’d have internet on the go. I thought that I would be able to handle the occasional email away from home. I thought that I could keep my calendar synched (a’la Palm Pilot) to a calendar program on my Windows computer…

WRONG!!!

Apple’s business model is still if you want ANYTHING, EVEN a lousy case to put the damn thing in, you have to PAY THROUGH THE NOSE!

You want to connect to your email client on your Windows PC (say, Thunderbird)? Sorry, Charlie, you’re out of luck. There’s NO way to do that!

You’d like to connect to a calendar on your PC? Sorry, Charlie, you’re out of luck. You’ve got to have a mac with iCal or consign your information to some web site monopoly as a go-between.

You want to use logmeinfree to check into your home computer while on the road? Sorry, Charlie, you’re out of luck. It’ll cost you $20 bucks.

You want to play flash media or any of another 1/2 dozen protocols (which is about 1/2 of my internet access)? Sorry, Charlie, you’re out of luck. YOU CAN’T!!! ‘Cause Adobe, etc. won’t give Mr. Jobs the necessary vigorish – won’t pay and pay and pay!?!

Hell, you want a case for the damn thing? Sorry, Charlie, you’re out of luck. It’ll cost you AT LEAST $20 to protect it.

If you have a Windows computer don’t even consider one of these unless you just want a horribly overpriced mp3 player!!!

WHAT A WASTE!!!!
