 I'm planning to buy a PDA. I'm wondering which is easier to setup w/
 linux, Palm OS or Windows CE? Or, is Windows CE even able to be setup
 for syncing? Thanx.

Haha.. well... The reason why I can put up staring at that hour glass is 
because palm systems have that black area at the bottom of the screen... 
Which really really bothers me... because it doen't look nice.
BUT, I ordered one that runs on palm os already neways... I'd rather put 
up w/ the black area then windows.

When everyone agrees around here, it means that something must be wrong.

2001-11-19 Thread Valerie Cheng

I posted a message a while ago asking if anyone knows when the consumer 
version of Sharp Zaurus will come out. (The developer's version comes 
out in this month.) That was the only Linux pda that I liked. But after 
comparing that with clie.. I decided on clie, since I really like their 
design and stuff... And I dun have to wait for it to come out.
