We don't need these deflections.  YOU said the FruitFone was a UNIX 
COMPUTER, not I.  I was suggesting you INSTALL some unix/linux freeware 
that is very useful, even on the FruitFone, for free!

The REAL point is YOU CAN'T...because it's not a computer, especially a 
"Unix computer".  All Unix computers I ever saw had installable 
applications stored on some kind of memory device and ran code to do 
useful things the administrator had installed.  FruitFones do neither.

What the hell is this deflection supposed to mean?  All I asked you to 
do is to install some tiny unix/linux apps anyone can download for free, 
boot them up and take a picture of the screen of the FruitFone and post 
the picture so we can verify that, in fact, the softwares were running 
on a FruitFone, cracked or not.  Then, using the FruitFone's application 
manager again, you simply uninstall them and go about your miserable 
life.  It's really quite simple!

Interesting.  I've never seen one piece of evidence or picture of VNC 
running on a FruitFone, even disconnected from any useful system.  I'd 
think Jobs would be waving the FruitFlag in shock and awe at the 
business community if the damned thing ran even a piece of VNC business 
could use.....but there's NOTHING....(crickets chirping in a deserted 
drivein)....
