After spending Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday camping on the top of 
Lookout Mtn Georgia with a bunch of friends, I couldn't agree more.

I was at a caving get together, and got to hang with some Linux-ish GIS 
geeks and learned a lot as well.. New favorite toys on an Asus Seashell 
running Jaunty Netbook Remix: a bluetooth GPS reciever, GPSD, and gpsdrive 
and Viking. Got them working, now I have to get better at using them.

My non-hacked iPhone didn't work until I got back to "civilization"
and it worked just like it should. Yeah, once a month or so, I boot Vista 
and run iTunes on it to back it up, add/exchange some music... I also 
check out a few other things under Vista.. and an so happy when it reboots 
into Linux.

I drank the kool-aid, but I prefer whisky and vodka. :)
