Hello All
I\'ve been looking at buying a C860 for some time now, and I\'m about to make the plunge in a few weeks.
I\'m trying to decide which rom I should run. I\'m a devout \"GO\" player, and it\'s important for me to be able to be able to record the games I play at the local club. If I understand correctly, the 5500 had a go program built in. But I don\'t know if this is available for the 860 or if it even has the ability to save games as SGF files.
I have seen that Cgoban and Gnugo have been ported over to the pdaXrom. Can anyone tell me how stable they are, and how cgoban looks/works in portrait mode?
I\'m also interested in a program to track finances, along with the usual PDA apps such as an address/phonebook, calendar, etc.
Is pdaXrom ready for prime-time? Are there other roms that suit my needs?
How much risk do I run of turning my new Zaurus into a brick by switching roms?
Thanks in advance!

For the life of me, I can't figure out go. I've been playing chess for decades, and I've read and tried go totorials... I can't even tell what's surrounded and what is not. Ie: I think I'm surrounding something, but really I'm on the inside.
anyway, I've tried the cgoban, it seems to work... however, I can't figure out the timing for the game, so the computer always takes 2-3 minutes to move.. and I get bored -- when I play gnu-go in text mode, it seems to move almost right away.
I only would use pdaXrom now. It seems really solid -- at least to me.
