Thanks much to all those who have enabled me (having no clue what it is I'm doing, but accurately following directions) to make my Touch so much better. It's be "jailbroken", and the iPhone apps are installed and running great. But I have a few questions:

- Can someone tell me just how summerboard will improve my life? If my kids will be that much more into the Touch (mostly a good thing, though it means more sharing) because it will be cooler, that may be reason enough.

- Do I limit the number of emails that I download from my Yahoo account in the "Show" option in mail settings, or is there some other way? I don't want it to download all my messages. Also, what happens when I delete a message on the Touch? Will my webmail account with Yahoo also delete the message?

- What is the deal with the Installer? It seems to get new things in it when I connect to wifi. Is it using up memory, or does it only use memory if I install something?

- Finally, what are the next five apps I should look at installing?

Thanks! Awesome board.

Yes, it will do that. (not being sarcastic). I'm waiting for an automatic instalation though...hopefully the one from Installer.app will work properly soon.
