Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear. The clamshell was supposed to be too small, the screen was supposed to be near as damnit illegible and the keyboard was supposed to be useless!
It isn't, is it? It's spot on, and very usable.
Damn and blast, etc...
Well, balls to waiting, the 5500 is on ebay and will be funding the SL-C3100 when its sold. I'll probably end up buying from trisoft as they've been exceptionally helpful, and very quick on their response. Conics have had two queries sent, and have yet to respond despite registering on their system, so I guess it'll be trisoft that gets my business.
Thanks very much to Diesel1 (Simon) for taking the time to come and show me his 860, and enthuse about it. It's great to find such an active, helpful community.
I think the first meeting of the Northern branch of the UK Zaurus Users Group has just been held, briefly, in the car park of a northern retail park. Goodness only knows what anyone watching would have thought, especially as it was raining, I had been walking, so the windows misted up pretty quickly.
There'll be beer involved at the next meet. Beer, gadgets and Linux... Only curry could make it a perfect night . Who knows, I might be able to bring a SL-C3100!
