I find it works well, unless I want to type a message in a different language. Then it really goes bad. But, I've got a Nokia, and it works great. once you make it learn a few words by spelling them yourself (usually suburb names) its great. If you wanna use slang, hit the hash key a few times, and it takes it off T9, so you can free type.

But when typing a normal SMS, T9 predictive input makes it so much easier for me.

That is why they are great in torches, head lamps, and backlights - because you don't need complex optics to focus the light. White LEDs are still quite expensive though, so bulb made out of it would be a lot more expensive than a standard one.

My argument is broken from both angles of attack? Since when is posting my opinion an attack? Sounds like you have deep issues. Bad parenting? Your mother was too busy with her clients to breastfeed you?

No, they weren't. Funny that. If I do get any, I'll be sure to report the color. Though, it makes me wonder what kinda crappy hardware people run it on in order to get problems they get. People are happy to get new operating systems yet they aren't prepared to upgrade their hardware. (yet, in some cases getting software licences is more expensive than the entire computer itself).

Vista is hated? By.. who? The linux lovin' folk? Yes, you are right. But not many others. Vista is more stable than XP, looks pretty (A $1000 AUD machine (including 22" monitor) will run it great). My dad uses it, and finds it a lot easier to use than XP. He also never turns his machine off, and has never asked me for help with his computer (unlike when he was using XP). A few friends of mine are in IT, one does mostly MS stuff, the other does mostly linux stuff. Both use.. Vista on their home machines.

I'll have to argue the point that OS X does GUI better/more functional. I personally hate the Mac OS interface. The file manager sucks, the dock is pretty but crap (keeping track of open applications and its windows).. You can't tell me that is better than what Windows does. But each to their own I guess.

In my opinion, Vista is more stable than XP. I haven't had any blue screens of death with Vista. I agree, before SP1 it had some issues, but since SP1, I haven't had any issues. The laptop I'm using it on is fast enough to run it(2.2Ghz Dual Core), plenty of RAM (4Gig - RAM is cheap these days), no issues. I wouldn't go back to XP. But, thats my experience.

You've never use a screwdriver as a hammer? I certainly have!
