Follow Lubi - get a puppy, it'll keep you plenty occupied until Spring. Next we'll be able to have cats and dogs threads to keep us amused.

In an argument of dogs vs cats though, what would Linux be? A parrot?
No, Mac O/S is a parrot - looks great but ultimately costs you a fortune.
Windows is a cat. No matter how much you think you are in control, it'll do what it wants, when it wants. And then shit in your own back yard.
Linux is the adorable puppy - it might take quite an effort to get it to do exactly what you want but it will reward you in the end.
Now, I might just be in serious need of a cheap tech toy for the next couple of months...

I only just realised that they are releasing Chrono Trigger for it next year.

Just get a TT DS, and put the SNES version of Chrono Trigger on it. I've got a Supercard One - really impressed. Not yet got a SNES emulator working very well. Which do you use?
snemulds works ok. not perfect, but perfectly usable. at least with super r-type and micromachines (that's the two snes games that i play most on my ds lite)TaG said:Not yet got a SNES emulator working very well. Which do you use?

Hm, maybe if my father could send me my broken Acer n30...
A good ol' Psion 5 might be nice too.
Or maybe an HP Jornada 720/728.
In fact, any small device.
MilanC said:Actually a Jornada 720 is form-factor-wise more suited to my needs than Pandora. Alas, I guess I can't use it to edit photos over 1024x768...

I found something quite cool today: Zipit Z2.
For $50, you get:
312MHz ARM processor, 32MB RAM, some small flash memory, MiniSD slot, WiFi, QVGA screen, full keyboard, no touchscreen or mouse.
The included software is no use, but http://www.openzipit.org/ seems to have a modified openembedded tree for it and some instructions...
If I can't find a cheap Jornada, I'm buying this.
Hmmm, this looks pretty fun. If I could get emacs + wifi on a $50 device...
