I just upgraded from a Collie running OZ 3.5.4 to pdaXrom on an Akita.  Holy CRAP, guys.  This is incredibly polished, looks GORGEOUS and everything actually works.  Bravo to the developers.

Just curious. Were you running the OPIE or GPE variant?

Going from Coolie up to Akita is a BIG difference itself.

Very true, that's what I did, but I miss my little 5500. It was just.... special.

That said, my C1000, screen and keyboard fabulousness :-)

I just need to stick to one rom and actually understand linux better lol

I was on Opie.  Why do you ask?

By the way, I have hit one snag.  How do you get around the window sizing issues?  I installed Thunderbird and am having trouble configuring it because I can't click on the title bar to resize the configuration window or really do anything at all except maybe click an option and hit the enter key!

I feel like there's probably a keyboard shortcut or something somewhere, I just don't know what it is.

Hold down the alt key (by default mapped to the Address key) to be able to drag the window up with the pointer/mouse. For more check out [a href=\"http://mail.pdaxrom.org/docs/keyboardandmouse]the docs[/url].

And FWIW, I agree with your evaluation of this rom. Pretty awesome

People feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I would have thought that the GPE version of OZ was a little more comparable to pdaXrom than the OPIE version of OZ, because both GPE and pdaXrom use X, whereas OPIE does not.

So that the GPE version would have felt more similar to pdaXrom than the opie version.

Therefore the OPIE version would have seemed a greater leap than if you'd upgraded from the GPE version.
