But I always trust word of mouth from friends before reviews. Just seeing if I could get an inside scoop from the group. Now that you mention it......I am also reading up on the Sharp Zaurus SL-6000. Still trying to find out if it will provide me with an interface so that I can jack into router/switch console ports, etc. Are you happy with your model? I bet Return of the King was the best of the three, huh? I hate going to the theatre but I might make it for that one.

Oh hell, > its the holidays so feel free! > Cleve > > Ditto John's reply. Zaurus rocks. You can get wireless and ethernet for it in CF packages that work. Other than that, all I know is what I've read on Slashdot. I hate USB. Other people have made it work, but I get no joy from it ever. Next time we do an install fest, I'm bringing USB toys that I can't work: an old camera and a visor cradle. The USB kernel stuff works great but it does not know what device to throw at it so the thing remains unclaimed. Good luck and let us know what you find.
