Re: [NTLK] i-Poll

Andy,

Umm, please don't get me wrong and I hope this comes out right. To me, your
comment about a coup may have been tongue in cheek. If so, ignore the rest.
If not, would it not be prudent or worth considering: rather than change the
direction of an established forum to implement or even parallel another
forum for those users that want it. Perhaps it's more effort than those that
are capable of doing so are able to offer at his time. Understandable, I
give 70 to 80 hours a week, have a wife and three kids that wonder who I am
some days and still dream of time to tinker on my Newt.

I have lurked off and on for a number of years and have recently signed on.
I very much enjoy the sense of friendship that predominates this forum and
almost all of the conversation, both Topical and OT. If I don't like the
thread... I have a delete button. For the gems and pearls of wisdom that
come along.... I have an archive.

There are veterans of this board that have a lot to offer and have done so
in so many ways. The Newton is an Apple product and so is the iPhone. If
it's a Newton and iPhone together Topic...bring it on. If it's strictly
iPhone...is there a better forum? After all it is newtontalk.net, isn't it?

OK, I've said my piece, given my $0.02 and now I'll climb off the soap box,
crawl into the doghouse and wait for permission to come out. :)

Thank you,
Stefan Thorsteinson

Hey,

Grant - I think this is on topic (in a survival kind of way).

The escalation of iphone conversations of late has really got me wondering.

What if...there are now more Newton users with iPhones than without them.

What if...there were only actually about 3 people on the list who don't
have an iPhone and the anti-iPhone rhetoric has been just that, with the
majority actually owning and enjoying them. (Not that this is a crime).

What if...the iPhone users became or are the dominant race, took over (a
coup!) and wiped the rest of us out, for example by passing a statute
that no Newton related conversations were allowed on Newtontalk.

Hence the i-Poll.

This is totally mad and pointless but we need to know. Therefore:

I am happy to receive one email (OFF LIST) from every member of this
list (hyper-regular, regular, infrequenters or lurkers) about the
following question.

1) Do you own a Newton and and Iphone Yes/No.

I will collate them and inform you of the results i.e the proportion.

Go on it will set the record straight.

All the best

Andy
