A. I'll answer by asking: are you a *very* technical person?
If so, the Nokia N900 is amazing ... but it's surely not for the faint of heart. Sure, very few of its apps cost money, but with kernel editing and beta software being the rule instead of the exception, there's the room for danger. I love mine -- I can FTP, DLNA, edit word docs with Abiword, check my wife's cycle on MaeGirls, blog with MaStory, edit images with Ansel-A, use Evernote and have root access. I even started using it as an MP3 player, keeping 30 GB of MP3 on it (did I mention it has 32GB of space built in and will take a 16GB Micro-SD card?). However, I'm very experimental.
The Palm Pre platform is gorgeous, with amazing multitasking and user interface. The hinge on the phone was a problem for my co-worker, who sent his back, saying it felt "fragile." If HP updates the OS (they bought Palm recently) and supports it (and the deal with the privacy concern -- Palm was collecting user data that was so not cool, but then again so do many Android apps), I could see myself being swayed back that way with decent productivity software. For now, though, I love the freedom of my Linux phone and don't mind the risks (I back up everything all the time).
Good luck!

looking for a good and free todo/task manager/tracker, any suggestion?
Q. I'm looking for a ToDo/task manager with the following features:
Mandatory:
- Free
- Works offline.
- Able to sync between computers/devices.
- Cross or multi platform. Must work on Linux and/or Windows (as long as some others)
- Task can be marked as completed.
- Hierarchy, projects and or subtasks.
- Tags, contexts, or any way to classify tasks in the same context.
- Alarms or time notifications or calendar
Desirable:
- Open Source
- Task completion percentage.
- Task priority.
- Share task lists, collections or projects with others.
- GTD or Kanban related.
I'm looking for apps different than TaskCoach (hard to sync), Chandler (seems the project is dead, and not working in the latest Ubuntu), Remember The Milk (no subtasks, no real clients and depends on Internet), Evernote (hard to track tasks just at sight, not working on Linux), not a geek command line task manager (no and no).

problem with backing up files before restoring computer?
Q. So my computer has like tons of malware/viruses. I figured reformatting would help a little bit ...
I'm trying to back up my computer so some personal documents wouldn't be lost in the process of restoring my computer but a pop-up keeps appearing every second saying "The drive cannot be written to please label the dvd-r "owner pc august 16, 9:58pm drive one" My dvds are completely clean its a maxwell dvd-r with 4.7 gb. I used theses CDs previously for making my own restoring CD's for another computer. I have no choice but to reformat because my security is down and dead whenever i try to turn it back on its unable to.

A. You can always use alternative methods to back up. Purchase a USB flash drive or external hard drive, which just requires you to copy and paste the files you want to save.
Or, you can upload the documents to the internet with a secure storage facility. I like to use Evernote: http://www.evernote.com/

Colanth - I'm sorry, but for a living, you easily give up and tell people "sorry, all is lost"? How unreliable and unprofessional. You can actually scan external media to remove the viruses before placing documents back onto a freshly restored computer. Or, you can boot the computer from a Linux Live CD and retrieve the documents, resave them in a different format on Linux using virus-free, open-source software, and then back them up.
