in Kindle Is Convenient But Not Always The Best Choice on Thom Allen Weblog
I agree, books HAVE to be cheaper in the digital form. Afterall, the distribution cost is SO much smaller. Seems like highway robbery when they charge the same even though there is nothing to print and no paper to buy. None the less, I think devices like the Kindle are the future of newspapers and magazines. If not, they're going to disappear! Books won't go away anytime soon but I do see people taking advantage of having 20 books in their backpack. My wife has a Kindle and loves it! She bought Alice in Wonderland for 25 cents the other day! Can't beat that!

Thom Allen Hey Kirk,

Yeah, I'm one of those that have several books and mags in their bag at any one time. But it's so heavy. Like to offload them to a digital device.

in Ubuntu 8.10 Caters To The Mobile User on Thom Allen Weblog
I've been demoing a nettop with Ubuntu on it for the past few weeks and I'm impressed. I've used plenty of linux OSs over the years and I like the Ubuntu interface. I do wish it had better driver support. Trying to setup a USB webcam wasn't fun and my printer wasn't supported. Oh well!
