Well, you asked why I was surprised. Yes, it boiled down to an assumption of corporate stupidity. I grew up used to PCs which were completely customizable and then grew to accept handheld devices which weren't (after the failure of customizable handhelds). I actually don't blame them; it's a good shield to keep people who don't know what they're doing from customizing the snot out of something and then complaining that it doesn't work. So, yeah, since B&N obviously is intentionally locking down their device out of the box, I'm a bit (
pleasantly, as I said before) that B&N isn't maintaining that same lock-down attitude after the box.
Did you think I was scolding Dixieknits for having rooted? Perish the thought! I've spent hours (gotta love summer break) over the past few days determining the best way (for me) to root mine. I just figure (and still sort of do) that once I do it, I won't have a right to expect any software support from B&N. Well, unless I flash back, of course.
