Why?  You made a very clear statement, it would be nice to hear why you said it.

FWIW, I agree with dlang.  My G1G1 has convinced me that the hardware is great: phenomenal
screen, great battery, excellent size, folds into tablet mode.  The only thing I dislike is
the keyboard but I can't complain about that because it wasn't made for my large hands.

They *nailed* the hardware.

The software, on the other hand, is pretty bad.  I feel like even XFCE would be easier for
kids to learn to use and collaborate than the perpetually half-baked Sugar.

Given that at least two people have managed to misunderstand it so far, it doesn't appear to
have been that clear after all.

Hence the giving up.
