I think it\'s about time this ZUG had a meeting, I am open to suggestions as to venue, date & time.

So anyone up for this?

I\'m interested, but I\'m in the Milwaukee area.  I\'d be willing to drive down though.

I\'m in Kenosha and located kind of in the middle of everyone so far.
I\'m trying to come up with a couple dates and a location.
I\'ll post the details when I get them put together.

I\'m in the Northwest burbs in Illinois along the 294. I\'d be willing to come up to the dog track or Brat Stop some night. I\'m a little busy right now, but if you set a place and time, I\'ll try to get there.

Greetings all.

I\'ve just got my Zaurus and just joined the group so I thought I\'d drop in and say hi (thanks Viv, for letting me know about the group).  I\'m in Lake county, Illinois so I\'m also pretty centralised.  I\'m north of the border with my band quite a bit so can make a meeting pretty much anywhere in Lake, Kenosha, or Racine counties.  The Brat would be my personal pick as a place to meet.  Easy to get to from 94 and great food.     As for days, Saturdays would be best.  Tuesday is out (practice night).  I could make other weeknights.

PS,

Glad you found it! That evens out the WI and IL members. Although, with all the time we spend up north, we are almost cheeseheads...

I was thinking how about Saturday the 14th for our first ZUG meeting? We can meet up at the Brat Stop on Hwy 50 @ I 94 in Kenosha, have some lunch and play with our Z\'s for while. Say around 12:30pm? If this works for everyone let me know. And no more cheesehead jokes or I\'ll have to start in on you flatlanders :roll:

I might have a doctor\'s appt Saturday morning with my wife but won\'t know until Friday.  Even if I have it I should be able to schedule early enough to be at the Brat by 12:30.  Gives me an excuse to drive up for Powerball tickets, that should keep her happy.  I can let you know definately Friday afternoon.

Flatlander I understand, FIB I understand, can anyone explain \"puddlejumper\" to me?  

Hey, I\'ve got a Z question.  Back in the day when I had my old Palm III I had a nice leather pouch that I could carry on my belt.  Of course the Z is about  3/4 of an inch too big for the old pouch and I\'m not having much luck finding a replacement.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I don\'t need anything fancy.

I\'m going to be in the Dells over the weekend so that won\'t work for me. During the week, Wednesdays are bad but most other days are fine. Weekends depends on what the wife has planned for me...

As for a case, I have a nice black and tan Piel Frama case that ran me about $50. I can hook you up with the lady on eBay who sold it to me, if she still has any.

As for Cheeseheads, I have nothing against them. Some of my good friends are Cheeseheads and my brother just graduated from Marquette. Between fests in Milwaukee, my timeshare in the Dells, my in-laws place in Sister Bay and Phantom Stanger\'s shows, I\'m about two weeks from having residency!

Well, if there are a couple others that are interested as well, PS if you want I\'ll keep the date open, just let me know Friday what\'s up.

I got a $14.95 Sumdex case off of Amazon that I love.

Hi all,

I won\'t be able to make it Saturday.  I\'m told that the doctor\'s appointment is going to take several hours.  Looks like I\'m locked up.

Tapjpa,

I looked at the Sumdex cases and am going to pick one out.  Thanks for the recommendation

Hey all!  Well, I\'ve been posting on the ZUG since beginning of Jan, but I\'m just now finally adding myself to this group!

I live in Chicago - Lincoln Square (near Lincoln and Irving Park), if you\'re familiar.  If anyone\'s interested in having a meeting at some point in the near future - anywhere from Chicago to Kenosha - I\'d be up for it!

My gear:
SL-5500 running tkcROM
Multiple SD and CF memory cards
Haicom GPS CF card
Socket Rev. G Bluetooth
SanDisk WiFi
Sharp CF Camera

I\'m planning to soon make the c860 jump, but I\'m waiting for some work expenses to be reimbursed first...

ttys!
