Weekend Accident

I dropped my UMPC yesterday with my Gizmo flash drive in the USB port and it landed square on the USB drive. The drop knocked the shell off the drive and bent it to about a 30 degree angle in the USB port. I removed the drive, straitened it out as gently as I could, reassembled the shell, and put it back into the USB port. I was shocked to see that it still worked! Now that’s engineering for you - I don

    Whoa! Scary! Glad to hear that everything worked out OK. How did Quigly fare?

    Did you ever put Vista on him? I put it on my X41 tablet today, and it’s pretty sweet. However, I think I’m going to go back to XP on my R2H. There are just enough small things that don’t work. But I want to do a video of Vista on it before I go back.

    Have a great gadgety Thanksgiving! :-)

    I just found a link to your blog on Jkontherun.com and I like your insight into things. I’ve been trying to buy a Q1 for a long time, but every time I have enough money, my car breaks on the way to Best Buy. I’m not exagerating. One time it broke down at a christian book store that was right next door to Best Buy, when I was on my way to buy the UMPC. I’ve had to use my UMPC money to fix my car 3 times now.
    Anyway, I’ve decided the Q1p is my ideal system and maybe having it shipped will be the solution to my bad luck. The point to all this is, in the mean time, I’ve been enjoying your posts and hope to see another(maybe more detailed) day in the life of the Samsung Q1.
