If the main difference is the dual screen thing then it's not much use for me. My main use case with sheet music is writing it, not reading for performance - so I'd actually prefer to work on just one screen at a time.

Is that not also true of the fly trap?

I believe there are some vegans who won't eat figs because they absorb the body of a certain type of wasp. I forget the details, but the point is - it probably depends on the vegan

I think they want a pocket TARDIS...

Remarkable would be awesome if I could read my Kindle books on it. It seems to me that most e-ink tablets are good at either taking notes or ebooks, but none are really good at both...

I'd love to get ferrets, but I expect if get an allergic reaction when they moult.

Given that the PadMu is (as far as I can tell) a tweaked Onyx - I'm not clear what the difference actually is? Onyx can do sheet music can't it?

I really want an e-ink tablet that is good for both sheet music and has excellent ebook support. Including Kindle formats. I'm not holding my breath.

I would love this - except that my wife and I would want completely different ambient temperatures and I don't want to sleep in a different pod from her.

Based on about 20 minutes of searching last night - it seems to lack support for debugging outside of gdb.

That's quite a major thing to not have if you're going to claim support for lots of languages...

I feel like so much effort is spent trying to solve problems that just aren't problems.

Creating simple data objects (or what we used to call Java Beans) is ready to do - especially in a modern IDE. It's also simple to understand what is happening in one and different take very long to read at all.

I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've actually needed to write a hash or equals method.

But the solution to this, in my opinion, non problem is to use a highly inflexible tool that only works in a subset of cases - e.g. when it's ok for your data objects to be immutable.

Karen Carpenter - mainly because she was such a talented musician and her death so tragic.
