Default Heh Heh - we have a celebrity in our midsts

Foo Fighter, a regular commenter here, was quoted in The American Way magazine found on American and TWA Airlines. Something about Palm OS5 and Vaporware. ;-)

Congrats Foo - your 15 minutes of fame. :-D

The quote is:

"Writing on a discussion board at PDAbuzz.com, a Palm devotee calling himself Foo Fighter couldn’t agree more: “Palm’s entire future hinges on OS 5. If it turns out to be vaporware, so will Palm.”"

Congrats Foo, for the next week (or month), you can take confort that your name (or psudonym) is right next to thousands of barf bags....

Cheers,
Sam

Ah, no the biggest tool on this board would be you. Sorry to deflate what little self-esteem you have left.

Hey, he can't even get the current YEAR right, so what chance has he got of spelling someone's name.

Don't worry. The IP this poster uses is a well known address. He's a long time visitor of Pocket PC Thoughts, and I've never been able to find one original or funny remark coming from that address. It is someone who likes to behave like a troll. One day he will get a life, and be gone here. But chances of him getting a life with his attitude are very slim. So I think he'll be with us for a bit longer. That's why I just thought it was about time he learned to spell my name right. All that effort to post negative things about me gets waisted, when you don't get the name right.

Default who cares?

who cares about Palm OS version 5.0 or 8.3?

the future is about PocketPC/WindowsCE.Net and
mobile Linux.

Wasn't the phpBB here going to be set up so that anonymous guests can't post? Jason mentioned a bug, but I thought that was going to be fixed... any luck?

I'll double check the permissions, we may have have set one wrong, but the guy from San Fransisco is registering real accounts using Yahoo email address. He also keeps shuffling his IP address, making it irritating to keep blocking him. :roll:

He's been at this for about eight months now - I'd say he's posted 30+ insulting/offensive messages, and we delete them all. Maybe we should all chip in and get him either a psychologist or a hooker - either would benefit him greatly I think. :twisted:
