Yeah, that one always works.

Thanks for the condescending laugh Kate, it's good to know one can laugh when the joke is on them.
No, that was not my defense, that was an aside. And in this aside, I claimed correctly -and let me educate you here because I love educating people out of their pc- that if one goes about picking up on people's minor phrasing and mannerisms in forums which they might find obnoxious no post is going to be posted that won't divert the thread. And yes, this is fascism, which is perverse and widespread enough for you to not even notice anymore, and it usually comes under the guise of pc. And that is a prime example here, my comments in praise of Japanese hardware (and lamenting their software) where in no sense racist (because I happen to be neither from the UK nor from the U.S. and called them Japs colloquially -as I would have said, aussies, yanks,etc.-). But some people like to be hysteric in forums -that's the web- and they picked up on that sole word.
See, Kate, it's should be all clear to you now. You can thank me later for that.

So, exactly how possible is that 9.7 incher by sony? I am feeling rather disappointed that all we are going to have is the damn drm ridden kindle. No irex, no plastic logic, not even sony....
