It's a typical crap Flash design (why use Flash for menus???), but it works fine on my Moto Droid w/ Flash.
At least Android users have the choice to install and view Flash content if they choose. iPhone users aren't allowed that choice.
I have Flash installed on my Moto Droid and have found performance quite lacking as well.
Have you ever used a HP LaserJet P2015 or P3005? Great printers until just after the warranty expires and you start getting solder joint problems with the formatter board. A quick bake for 8 minutes at 350F in an oven may give you a few more months of use until the problem reappears.
Older HP printers are fantastic. I've got a LaserJet 4 and a couple of 4000's still running fine.
You wouldn't be wrong. I am the IT dictator. I get my way about 99% of the time.
Hmmm.... All the different versions of Microsoft Office out there, law firms still using some version of Word Perfect, Open Office, iWork, Google Docs, etc.
Anyone who's taught concepts rather than the specifics of one particular version of Microsoft various products should have no problems using any GUI based software written in the last 25 years.
I am the IT director of a school in the US. I can see first hand that the only thing the "educators" are interested in is training students to use application software. Not only that, it must be the absolute latest version of a certain company's office package. It's so the students will get "real world" training. WTF?
While it indeed is important for students to learn to use these tools, by the time some of these students make it into the workforce, the software that students are trained on (and cost so much money to 'license') is 'obsolete.'
What happened to the concept of teaching concepts? How to produce a document using a word processor and not Microsoft Word 2007? I learned word processing with AppleWorks on an Apple
I have lots of old Apple II floppies (both 143K 5.25" and 800K 3.5") from the early - mid 80s. The vast majority of them still work even though I've done nothing to properly store them.
I think the reason older floppies like mine still work while nearly new ones have tons of defects is due to both the media being better manufactured and the much lower storage density.
I just installed it on my rooted, custom ROMmed and overclocked Motorola Droid.... and it worked! I played with it for about 10 minutes. It didn't crash my phone, reboot my phone or damage my phone in any way.
It's absolutely alpha quality software at this point, so don't expect much from it. But it has lots of potential and I'm absolutely confident this will turn into a great browser on Android.
I have a small garage in my house that I converted to a man/tech/beer/doctor who cave. No, I don't live with my parents.
It contains (mostly on wire rack shelving):
My Linux machine and iBook.
And old iMac I just picked up. Works.
5 Apple
A working Commodore 64.
An Atari 2600.
A collection of computer magazines I had in the 80s & 90s.
A collection of my 80s & 90s computer books & manuals. Some I picked up off eBay as well.
A Vector Graphic Vector-1 computer system with manuals a friend's dad built in the late 70s. Doesn't work, but I can't part with it.
Two Magnavox Odyssey2 game systems. One is mine from 1978 and the second from eBay. Both work.
10 old rotary and touch tone phones. 8 work, four are hooked up and working. There's a few more scattered about the house which my wife tolerates.
Plastic crates full of old IBM Model M and other keyboards, assorted cables.
A real IBM AT system board that works.
Beer related stuff.
Doctor Who related stuff. And Star Trek & Star Wars...
What's left of my LP collection and a bunch of CDs.
Over the couple of years few years, I have given away or tossed the following due to needing room because of kids:
2 Mac SE machines. Regret this.
A Lisa 2 that I tossed. Still have the keyboard and a few parts. The electronics were extremely corroded.
Some old desktop 486 boxes.
Two SGI machines. I got rid of a bunch of Sun machines before I moved to this house.
A few hundred LPs that I gave to a collector friend who has about 10,000 LPs.
I think I need help...
I'll keep my land line at my house active as long as possible.
I have three small kids and I need something absolutely reliable in case of an emergency.
While I do absolutely love modern mobile tech (Droid!), I prefer using a land line while at home. I simply don't enjoy having long conversations on a mobile phone. The newest phone at my house is a Nortel Meridian M9616CW which was (for me) the ultimate geek phone in the mid 90s. They seem to fetch a good price:

The rest are all Western Electric, Automatic Electric and ITT phones from the early 40s - 70s that I've collected and repaired. They all work perfectly (even rotary dialing) on the Cox Digital phone service.
As the article mentioned, POTS is preferable in disaster areas. I live in an area of New Orleans that didn't flood in Katrina. The only way I was able to contact people in my neighborhood who stayed for the storm was on their land lines.
The major difference between bonds and bond traders is that the bonds will eventually mature.
