Are Computers without Hard Drives Useless? Doubtful.

>>>Knoppix, a Linux based live CD, will boot a computer from the optical drive and gives a slow but usable graphical user interface. The average Windows user may balk at the idea of learning Linux. On the other hand, anyone willing to fumble around in the GUI for half an hour, and throw out the occasional Google search shouldn't have too many problems using the Knoppix interface. The most recent version, Knoppix 3.9, comes with Firefox and OpenOffice.org 2.0 Beta, so if you're already using the Windows equivalent, Knoppix is that much easier to pick up. This still leaves the question, what can be done on a computer without a hard drive?
-- the 770 is announced and all the PPC Weenies chant, "No HD! No HD! Nyah, nyah! What good is *that*?" Then it turns out none of them went and got a MicroDrive anyway. And then they diss the RS-MMC too -- until Compaq this week reveals their latest will sport a *mini-SD*! Ha! I doubt the PPC Weenies could do the above with *Windows*.

I got screwed by a search engine that popped up something it said was news for *today* -- and it was from 2000! I plead heat prostration! Thanks to Jeff Kirvin for catching that!

My Experience with the Nokia Experience Center

>>>Ok first of all, it wasn't a center, it was a kiosk. Secondly, maybe it's just me, but the person working that pop-sickle stand was totally clueless!!! What are the job requirements?
-- someone in Finland better fix this!
