Yep, know that... and I recently ran into a description that made this apparent reversal of the norm make sense.

Yeah, well, my head tends to explode when I get about halfway through... maybe I'm taking bites that are too big, I dunno.

I considered saying that myself, except it is more likely to infuriate me than teach me patience. Patience is a virtue I have a limited supply of. And less recently than I used to.

Understood, and I'm already doing that with the LX.
I'm frustrated. I've got this neat hardware that I'm having trouble making room for in my life.
Maybe I should stop trying and give up for real this time. I was on the verge of doing so before, but I understand the hardware is more reliable than PC, and I have problems with the PC architecture. (And where it's going.) Of course, one of the people who convinced me to hang on and keep trying is the same guy who eventually chased me out of the Sun Rescue list.
But I wonder if I'm cluttering my life with too much stuff at once. If I jettison the Sun hardware, it may simplify things.
Not going to just give all this away, though. I spent money on some of it.
