I'll have you know I use my Zaurus regularly :-) During the week it's usually one of my alarm clocks. On Sunday I take notes with it. If I go to any type of meeting/place away from home where I might want a computer it goes with me. The only playing I've done with it is wiping the original ROM and replacing it with Opie. It has always gone back to the Sharp ROM though. You should also know I've been lusting for the SL6000 lately too. Sharp is not going to sell the Zaurus in the USA anymore.
So... if you want an affordable PDA go with a Palm. Or hit Ebay and search for an SL5500 or 5600. The 5000(?) can be had for less since it's a developers version. --- "T.
