Number 5,000
Five thousand posts and what has happened?
I came here less than two years ago, looking for a Jailbreak and information on my new K3 device. Seems to be that I have stuck around for awhile.  Found a great working partner, twobob, despite the 6 time zones and generation differences. Found a lot of other great development work being done by many people, some who are no longer regular visitors here. Seen the struggle to add after-market customizations to the Kindle develop into using the device like any other, small, general purpose computer. Things have really taken off during the last (less than) two years. For those who may only know the event and artist from their history books: |

Respect to you mate.
Frankly, without you, I wouldn't be doing what I am doing right now. Literally. It is the kindness of strangers that has slowly eked the platform to where it is today. Long live the homebrew. and YAY! FOR YOU! 5k  What a difference 700 days makes. |

Nice job!
Hmm, I am at this forum almost as long as you are, but I don't even have 300 posts… There must be a bug in the system! |

It's a nice place to hang around, and you are among the reasons why that is the case. Happy 5000, knc1.
PS: This is probably the most polite, helpful, generally nice forum I've ever frequented. Good job, everyone. |

Suggestion #1: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/83...ont_light.html Wifi, Bluetooth, dual core (slow) . . . . (Hint: Does that plastic case look familar? )or maybe stay with the same brand name? http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/12..._WiFi.html?s=p Or maybe for those who want Android on their Kindle Touch: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/84...android_4.html Just buy them that way. OR Pick from this list: http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?...t=ebook+reader Last edited by knc1; 09-27-2013 at 10:56 AM. |
