I once received notice about, investigated and fixed, a web server problem entirely by dual-wielding an Android and an iPhone while sitting in a McDonald's for a few minutes (it was admittedly a simple problem, and luckily I had already set up both with ssh keys for the server). I thought that was pretty damn cool, even though doing the same on my PC would have been much quicker and easier. It's no secret I'm not a fan of those devices, but their benefit is that they do serve as a shitty version of a Palm PDA...except with full internet access. >Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained >by incompetence. -- Napoleon Bonaparte I've been such a big believer in that quote for years. Never heard it associated with Napoleon though, I always just knew it as "Hanlon's Razor": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor
