teddy and the blue dahlia

You still don't get it. I got all that and more. You missed the point of the humor and that part you obviously don't want to get. So 1.4 lbs isn't close enough to 2 lbs for you. It is more than a mere 12 ounces, but that's pushing shot glasses back and forth. That's ok too. Like I said, it was a dusty memory but it still was a more accurate target than your 12 ounces. Cheers! Here's hoping you find yourself lightening up soon. I've made the case for 12 ounces and haven't had to change my guestimation three times in doing so. A device such as I detailed would weigh about 12 ounces -- not 1.4 pounds, not 2 pounds and not 6 pounds! You refuse to accept that FACT that adding the features of a cell phone does not require adding a cell phone -- just the features! You've not mentioned my observation that adding the features of these seperate devices does not require having 4 cases, 4 batteries, 4 displays, etc. You make snide comments about my 'superiority' but fail to chalenge the fact that integrating more features into silicon doesn't require REQUIRE additional weight or battery consumption. You site a number of examples (6 pound laptop) that imply you're a smart guy but the examples you site argue against that assumption. The average laptop may well be about 6 pounds but there are versions larger and smaller (<4.3 pounds). But, once again, the laptop was never the point of comparison I was using so why you chose to pick it is anyones guess. We've hastled over this point for the better part of a week and you hide your refusal to accept your errors with a pretend smilly face -- you we're not joking and everything you have said since confirms that fact. You implore me to 'lighten up' while at the same time continuing to argue, in error, "... So 1.4 lbs isn't close enough to 2 lbs for you. It is more than a mere 12 ounces..." I can take a joke as well as anyone but I can also see when a joke isn't a joke. But, just in case anyone else is reading along and is still here let me give you a few examples where such a device might even save a life: * You're hiking along and you come upon a snake you're not familiar with, perhaps you're bitten by it, what do you do? Well you might look up snakes in the encylopedia and efter a minute or two you match it with a picture and discover its poisonous. You contact 911 or similar, give them your lat/lon/alt and within 25 minutes a helicopter picks you up and delivers you to the hospital BEFORE you die. The emergency staff knows what snake it was because you identified it with the encyclopedia and you took a picture of it with your digital camera, and they are able to give you the correct anti-venom. * You're a ranger and have been told of an emergency. You look at your device and are able to see both your possition and that of the emergency and are able to determine the quickest route to get there. * You're a the leader of a Boy Scout Troup and one of your kids is missing. You contact him and determine his location because he has the device and you are again able to plot the quickest route to rescue him. Brian You are a dumbass! Who gives a s*** about your stupid multifunction device. A joke is a joke. The fact is with all of the "functiality" it would be bulky, it would be heavy, and it would be expensive. Its a dream anyway. No company in there right mind would ever make such a beast. And I am not refering to all of your combining product claims. I am refering to your original list. No one would make it! So just let it go. Calm down. And get over it. Jesus! You such a baby.
