They do listen.

At the beginning - or let's better say before the beginning - there were some real pain in the ass mobilereaders who told them what to do and what not to do*. They became less of a pain in the ass, when they became Irex beta testers. And they will probably be very sad if they upgrade to the new ilIad casing by joining the battery replacement program, because they will loose some pretty low serial numbers. Hmmmm....looks like I am a bit too nostalgic today, I should really make a visit to the meditation thread....in case that it still exists... Om.

* If Irex did not respond to their favour they collectively or individually took things in their own hands. They disassembled the iliad, captured network update traffic, messed around in the ROM, brought organic color to the ilIad screen, pimped up their iLiads with flood lights and air conditioners, had at first problems finding the power switch, started sewing haute couture bags, created very custom avatars, started selling iLiads for fun and not much profit, took photographs of iLiads in underground fortresses, became friends with UPS van drivers, installed back doors which later became some kind of an offical patch and had some other fun and frustration I was too stupid to really understand.

These were the times, weren't they? Now where did I put my tracking number....
