Default Been reading the threads for the KF?

Ranges from bizarre to funny to just plain sad in many ways. First off, kudos to them getting root. That's an achievement. But without any malice intended, many of the posts are sounding like there are many who should never have been allowed near a tablet! Everything from mistakenly deleting entire directories (yikes!) to whines about "ADB is too hard" (meaning "someone hold my hand because I can't read and follow directions"!)

I admit we ALL were newbies at one time and we all made (and make) mistakes but am I being too hard in thinking that it sometimes seems "telling" that the cheaper a tab gets the lower the ability of the user to self-teach? Don't get me wrong, I am still learning myself but criminy! I cannot EVER imagining at least waiting to have a passing idea or clue of what I was about to do to the tablets I have owned before attempting. Maybe I'm just getting to be a curmudgeon...it happens! If so, I profoundly apologize if I offended or hurt someone's feelings but golly.

As for the NT, I can wait for the bootloader issue to be resolved and them this thing is gonna fly!

I think dropping the price to $99 brings out a lot more of them...
