Then you should remember that smalltalk back then ran on it?
And that this feat made it possible for Apple to further its research
into the GUI thru object oriented techniques?

I myself remember the old MK110 computers of the Navy. vintage 1959.

but she was only one of many behind smalltalk, and it was something
apple didn't use. so what was Adele's crucial contribution Elmo?

still waiting for you to reveal your secret.

What I got out of the review is that the iPhone is for the technically
challenged, the N95 is for the true techies. Last time I checked the market
share of devices which was a few days ago, Apple wasn't even on the map.
There have only been a million or so iPhone's sold which is not very much
compared to the billions of other manufactured devices. I have to admit
that I have never seen a piece of carcinogen producing plastic create such
a frenzy. At the end of the day, they are all still consumer grade personal
multimedia devices that can actually make phone calls and are marketed to
the masses like fast food.

What a lame backpeddle.

But only to be expected from a troll.

Yes, I was writing about the number of subscribers, because the
statement was about selecting the carrier. The only quantifiable fact
we can use to show that consideration is the number of people actually
using the carrier.

Sure, people may WANT more from a carrier -- some expect the very best
of every story they've ever heard (lowest cost, best coverage, fastest
data network, most features, most open attitudes, unlimited handset
choice, all at the same time!). But the only way to actually show how
the choices affect what they actually do is to look at the one they
use.

Surveys about satisfaction are usually about specific features or
customer handling, not all issues at once.
