You Guys Rock!
Reading a thread like this one makes me feel so incredibly thankful to have such an excellent community of Pocket PC users willing to help each other out. I really want to applaud all of you who help other people by answering questions, giving advice, and especially helping all the new Pocket PC users. :way to go:
I don't know that I've expressed this before, but the biggest reason we have a constant stream of giveaways on the site, and especially why we went through the stress of the big New Years Day contest, is to thank all of you for making Pocket PC Thoughts the success that it is today. Your continued support, encouragement and helpful suggestions have made running this site one of the most fulfilling parts of my life.
Quite often you tell us to keep up the good work, so right back atcha': keep up the great work Pocket PC Thougths community!

Wow! Can't believe I'm going to be first to put my 2 cents in. Just having a place to go to and be with people of the same mind, (oops I meant thoughts) means a lot.
You guys are outstanding and we appreciate all you do even with out contests. Don't stop. Isn't about time for a mid-year one? :lol:

It's so deeply ironic that I'd queue this up for a day when I really don't appreciate parts of the community so much. :roll: I guess I just have to take the good with the bad... :lol:

Hmmm, I didn't visit for a couple of days because my laptop's hard disk started to fail, so I bought a new laptop and was copying my data before I lost too much. :-( What did I miss?

P.S. If you care, I got a Fujitsu C2210 2 GHz P4M, 256 MB RAM (and I just bought another 512 MB), 30 GB disk, 15" screen, DVD/CD-RW combo drive, 4 USB 2.0 ports, Firewire port, 2 PC Card slots, Memory Stick/SD slot. It was $1300 before a $40 rebate -- less than half what my old Fujitsu 750 MHz P3M cost in 2000. So far it rocks!

Nice (except the Memory Stick slot  ukeface  . If the price wasn't that good, I would have strongly suggested the Centrino/P4-M notebooks, which have better battery life.

Ah, the Leprechaun theme. I'm catching up on the threads I missed while I was gone, and thought he meant the ad blocking thread.

Hey, I puked when I mentioned the Memory Stick slot, too, but it overlays the SD slot, so it's not like it's taking up space. :-)
I did look at some Centrino machines, and wouldn't buy them for a couple of reasons. First, they were much more expensive. Second, the processors topped out at about 1.4 GHz, and I was hoping for at least 2.0 GHz. I don't use my laptop away from power much (I have a car and plane adapter, too), so battery life has almost never been an issue for me. (Of course, one time I went on a weekend vacation and forgot my AC adapter. It was tough making it through the weekend. :-))

Apparently, though, they're really fast for 1.4GHz.

Tolja!  Seriously, I hope you enjoy your purchase - that's all that matters.
