I'd like to add my thanks to Harald, Sean, and the rest of the people
responsible for the wealth of information provided on the wiki, mailing
lists, irc, etc. You made my Neo FR a very fun device to own and use.
It doesn't get the same amount of use as it did a few years ago but it's
still something I won't ever part with; like my 486DX2 I simply can't
bear the thought of not having it around to play with.

Before you condemn me for such a disparate example just remember that
if it wasn't for lower level access to hardware back in the emergent
and heady days of 'PC' hardware we'd be a lot worse off on the whole.
OpenMoko and OpenPhoenux are prime examples of the spirit behind
innovation even if some of it is constrained by NDAs at least the
effort will always be there.
