waaaaaay ot, but does anyone else notice that page one of this thread tends to crash Pocket IE when using MultiIE?

Good call! I'm pretty sure that was because the original linked GIF image was being redirected on the popsci servers to a 155k bmp image. :mrgreen: I've replaced it with a much smaller GIF file.

Nope, sorry, running PPC2002 on a Dell X5 400MHz model and with the most recent (as in, not very) MultiIE, I have no trouble opening the first page of this thread, over dialup or Wi-Fi. I did, on the other hand, find that the article linked to from the thread-starter post would not open properly. After about 3 minutes watching a white screen I gave up and closed the page. NetFront had no such problem, so I was able to look at the original article.

MultiIE is still buggy as heck, but it got a whole lot less so with the last release. The most aggravating bugs are found when trying to save PHP pages (display later as a small batch of weird code instead of a web page), and a tendency to lock up the device when I switch pages and then too-soon tap anything in the top page. Seems if I wait about 2 seconds or a little more there is no issue, but I'm impatient, and after about 2 years of this problem with MultiIE and many complaints to Peter about it I still make the same silly mistake. Doesn't matter if I tap the scrollbars, the View or Tools buttons, whatever, it just freezes if I don't give it a couple of heartbeats to catch up to me when page-jumping.

Why does everything "futuristic" have to have sharp looking angles and edges that will no doubt break off frequently?

Think organic, ergnomic, smooth, integrated, seemless... those are the qualities of the future...

:confused totally: I cropped the original picture and turned it into a 25k GIF. Are you referring to the additional pictures that Wbcliton helpfully added to the thread?

Umm, yes, it was in my in-tray for a bit - while I concentrated on more immediate news. ops: Still, better late than never. :wink:

Quite agree with you JoeLevi - too many angles. :? The future will be smooth. :wink:

Possibly. I notice the first page of the thread still crashes on PIE, just not so quickly now.

The main weak point of OQO is its screen size, but this futuristic PDA adopts a convertible display which is about the size of 12" OLED screen.
I believe this will overcomes the main weak point of OQO.

Maybe in future, we will not need material thing for computing, something spiritual or like that will run at speed million times faster than today's fastest supercomputer.
