[KLUG Members] Palm device for Linux

[Tony Gettig]

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. Tim, I was wondering about the Zaurus,
but your reply confirmed what I was wondering. Thanks for the warning on the
IIIxe and batteries, Andrew. Adam, I agree 100%. A PDA is a Personal Digital
*ASSISTANT* and too many people forget that part of it. I really just need to
bring my contacts, calendar, todos, and a couple of handy Palm OS apps along
(time tracker, Space Traders, etc.). 

Thanks again, everyone.
