Came across this thread randomly while searching for something else. Wow, what a blast from the past (on a number of levels).

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

( I guess we should update this for modernity where things on the internet are forever.)

Holy thread dredge, Batman!

I still like my old Blackberry. It was FAR better at being a work phone and doing work things than any other phone I have ever had. Battery life, phone signal connection, contacts, calendar, email synch and SECURE messaging. Everything except playing games and surfing the net. Other phones made better...toys. And LORD, having a keyboard with real buttons and actually reacted to touch!

I started reading this thread and thought, "What happened? Is everyone on this board 100 years old?" Then I noticed the dates on the messages.

FWIW, I wish today's smartphones weighed 3 oz or less, like the featurephones from 2007. I guess that makes me a weight weenie!

The law states that processor speeds, or overall processing power for computers will double about every 18 month's

What's the one that says that marketing power doubles every 12 months?

Honestly, the first few posts didn't seem out of the ordinary to me. Whenever there is something kind of new for bikes, that doesn't look exactly like a bike should, there is outrage and admonishment of the new technology. The fact that someone's PDA just died seemed to fit right in.
