tkc may look nice, but the kde one isn't bad.  The kde addressbook (kapi) has features that you won't find with the tkc one.

- You can use kapi with the stock email program (after a dtm sync).
- You can add links to users of calender events in kopi.
- You can add pictures to each entry.

Hi,

LINUX can be frustrating at first, since you are at the mercy of a new OS
where everything will naturally appear foreign at first.  There are many books
out there, and lots of stuff on the net as well.

I once bought "The Redhat 7.1 Bible", which included the RH7.1 as well, so
everything in the book "just worked".  It was a big book, and covered much more
than I wanted to learn at first, but it was divided well, and I could jump around
from concept to concept easily.

I find the Slackware Book, found at http://www.slackbook.org/ (view the single page
version if you have the resources) as a very good starting point currently.

Also, you may want to find a decent Live CD of a decent linux, such as knoppix, to
play around on a desktop machine, which will be more comfortable with a larger
screen, keyboard, and a real mouse.  And Live CDs do not require you to install
anything to your desktop, as they run from memory.

Regarding the addressbook that comes with the C1000.  Can I customize it to show Home number/Home mobile in the main screen?   and when editing the contact is there a way to move fields from bottom to top?  

I won't be using any of the "work" fields.  

I saw screen shots at www.figlabs.com and I can't tell if its changeable.

Can I buy any CF 56K modem?  I found some cheap ones on ebay, but I don't want to buy the wrong one.

It is quite possible if the fuji is setup to "look" like and external drive.

I can set the Fuji's usb mode option to (PC or USB).   Will either work?

I found a lot of stuff on the net pertaining to digital cameras and the Zaurus.
I've uploaded a folder full of camera applications and libraries and dependencies.
There are 2 text files that describe what each IPK is used for.
I am also posting a screenshot of the folder with these files showing.

EDIT: These are designed for Sharp rom and Cacko rom

Is there a database software on C1000 (Sharp ROM (english) ?  figlabs lists one, but I can't tell if they added it or its normally included.

Didn't receive it today   tracking says it just hit US in Chicago and is inbound to customs today (30th)...  what?  it took 3 days from leaving Japan to hit US...!   I know most people have said 4-5 days shipping, so not sure why its taking longer to just get to the US.  

So, I'm hoping for Monday.

Sunday?  It's Saturday here   We do get mail on Saturdays.  I have checked my tracking number, as I stated in my previous message.  

We pick up our mail from Post Office (no home delivery) and will be picking this package up there as usual.
