Amberfox was kind enough to give me geek perspective in the form of "No, your palmtop doesn't need wireless or camera."

uhhhh

that's not geek perspective.

It's a balanced, healthy perspective, but it is not One with The Zen of Geek.

allow me to illustrate my point with a tale.

A young student geek approached the Master, and politely waited for his attention. When the Master failed to attend to the young geek, he cleared his throat noisily. At which point the Master whispered "Shhhh, I've almost got Quake 3 Arena compiled on my TI-86".

And the young geek was enlightened.

Well, I could not go to one who is not Geek for Balanced, Healthy Perspective. This is broke geek perspective. I already have laptop with wireless card, I have digital camera of the same resolution. I needed someone who was Geek to remind me of this.

Besides, if I save my money a little now, and don't get excessively broke, I can probably afford a camera phone.

I've used my camera phone exactly.. zero.. times.

There have been several fairly recent times when I've longed for one. The most notable one was the security guard at the state courthouse downtown smoking right under the no smoking sign.
