Got my new toy

The company just got me a new toy today. I asked for it because I need access to the internet, well, SSH to the servers wherever I go. I looked online and found that the Verizon XV8700 has a nice keyboard. WM5 is installed on it. I guess it goes against my religion to purchase another MS product but I have no other options at this time since I have to be on the roads soon.

Talking about MS, what's up with the lawsuits that they are filing against Linux? I think it is quite silly of them. Why now? Right after they filed the lawsuits, Gate announced that Vista is doing extremely well, that MS is going 64-bit, that a few weeks earlier, Dell announced that they will put Ubuntu on some of their desktops and laptops. May be MS is sensing something urgent, something is threatening the future of Windows. Perhaps, they want to strike fears in the hearts of those who are thinking of converting. Very interesting move nonetheless.

I hope I'll enjoy my new toy. PocketPuTTY, here I come...
