That's a bit of a loaded question, actually. :)
It's all going to come down to personal preference so I'd say go get your hands on both to play with.
I've always found the iPhone to have a bit more of a polished UI but I haven't had any real hands on with android in years so that could no longer be true.

BTW I think thi is my last Blackberry becuase I feel that when this contract
expires RIM will be down the drain. What would you suggest, Apple or Android
platform?

On a related note, I got a blackberry for about a month since all my "cool
kid" buddies were bugging me to get on BBM. Threw it under a bus after a
month, those things SUCK.

Peter, can you read this text on the PDP-10?
Hans
YES!!!!!!!
Thanks!
--Peter
Peter,
having used TOPS-10 for a short period, I know very little about TOPS-10 but
understand your problem (at least I think I do). So I'm trying to find a
solution.
Hans
The TOPS-10 system IIRC was in Ireland and was used by a European technology
sponsorship program. Contenders and participants had to use tha tsystem for
progress reports and project funding requests.

It is plain ascii, 8 bits and no problem for my own vms
systems. Besides there's no option to modify on my
blackberry. It also enforces topposting to my despair.
Apologies. I"ll drop off the list.
As Johnny points out, it's not critisim of you or your contributions
(well, I can't read them).
My point is that a lot of the HECNet hosts don't speak 8-bit
characters. All the 36bit machines does 5*7bit=35bit to store ASCII.
So it would be nice if I could follow the HECnet mailinglist on my
HECnet machine, that;a all, thanks, Peter.
--Peter
Dennis,
if all else fails then that would be a very nice idea indeed, thanks!
But I'm an engineer. Engineers try to fix things that are broken.
They'd rather not pass the problem to somebody else <g>

Peter is correct: it really is encoded as Base64. Why is not clear; the
Mime header says that it's text/plain, but in spite of that it sets
transfer-encoding to base64. Maybe just a defective mail client.
It says text/plain, but doesn't name the character set. Some mailers
switch to base64 if the character set isn't ASCII, even if all of the
characters that actually appear in the message would be legit ascii.
Hans' blackberry may be set to latin1, given he's in .nl.
Hans, if you want, I'll try to gin up a gateway that translates your
messages and posts them to the list. Shame to see you leave the list
over this kind of tomfoolery.
