I use a really simple calendar program on my computer.
From Jamie Zawinski
Mostly I use the O2 as an X terminal, however, running my apps on Linux and displaying remotely.
See, unlike most hackers, I get little joy out of figuring out how to install the latest toy.
Why should someone have to retrain themselves to use a new application that does the same basic thing as the old application, just because something as trivial as the operating system changed out from under them?
Using these toolkits is like trying to make a bookshelf out of mashed potatoes.
You can always affect things - so can you change it in a way that will make you as happy with it in the future as you were in the past? Maybe it won't be the same, but it might be something else you also like.
And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux.
I don't get much sense of reward from having discovered how to get the Foo card to coexist with the Bar card.
On the other hand, there would be some value in different folks getting together to share expertise and technology; but to the listener, it wouldn't necessarily seem like a single station in the traditional sense.
