Hi People,
My web browser is doing some odd things. If I am
using webmail (clear.net) I can usually read mail and
browse the inbox but if I choose to reply or new it goes
into "connecting to" mode and stalls. My option seems to be
to copy my text to an editor, close, re-open Firefox and
sign into my mailbox again then paste and post.
A similar thing happens when I am browsing forums, I
can read them but if I choose to reply the stall thing
happens again and even the copy paste thing is not a
success. Google did not help me that much though it is
likely I was looking in the wrong place (Firefox stalling)
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards John Grrr! It has happened with this post:-(
No word yet on a price of the Intel/Red Flag device (I've put a giant
"wanted to buy" for these specific devices on a big import/export site -
shall see what that turns up).
I can get Nokia N770 internet tablets at reasonable prices (cheaper than
I can buy them in Finland!). I've asked for prices on other models too.
GPS unit is also available for those interested.
Sadly the n-series tablets are not *strictly* a Linux-device, and may
not be as flexible as the MID at the link below... or... maybe they are
- they seem to be Linux-based. I don't know how you guys classify these
things, and I'm not interested in starting a war about it - or am I.
Do these devices have to be pure GNU/Linux, free software, GPL license
code etc for you to drool over them or what? Any criteria that needs to
be fulfilled for you to just go "I want one" as below?
Mathew
P.S. Do we get to coin a new phrase for the Linux/Intel combination:
Lintel? Anyone want to try and register lintel.com in case it hasn't
gone already?

I like the idea. I was unable to find, however, an actual release date -
the articles are all future-tense. Hopefully the OS is available in
English.
I'm trying to find a vendor (in China or HK) to negotiate an export deal
with to Europe as we speak - I've been wanting devices like these for
about 18 months to facilitate a tourism project - if the price is right,
I'm want many of them!
Admittedly, DSE could probably get a better price than we could at the
end of the day, but I can hopefully respond to the market faster than
they can. I'll let you know what I find out and thus the plausibility of
importing some to NZ.

Hi All
I am playing around with the terrian editor in
widelands and am surprised to find that there is no
Headquarters supplied.(the default building for each of the
players)
I have tried save the new work in
/usr/share/games/widelands/maps but it still does not give
me a HQ. Anyone have some helpful thoughts on this?
The reason I am doing this is that I am really new to
any form of gaming and want to give myself some "extra"
resources so the game lasts longer before I kill it with
some basic provisioning error.
Regards John
