Assuming you mean Sunday the 12th in 2006 not the 11th in 2007 (I'm pretty sure I'm booked for the latter ), then  I should be good to go. There's one more that will probably join the fold; I'll get contact info & let him know.
GROG!

Undestand what I mean! Not what I say!  Just kiddin'.
Ya, I meant Sunday the 12th. Sorry.

Alto's is fine with me.  Maybe we can freak out the waiter again.    
I might also have something new to show the group as well.

 Japanese tech is so foreign to North American's hey?

Something new, hey? From reading previous posts, I think I can guess.

Just some notes from our meeting today Sunday the 12th @ 2:00PM
-Talked about Palm and how they used to rule the roost but now seem to be fading away.
-Brainstormed a bit about viewing Google calendars on the Zaurus.
-Ooh'ed and Ahh'ed over HoloVector's new C3200. Congrats!
-Talked a bit about the new 2.6 kernel based pdaxrom versions
-Talked about pdaXrom and the pluses and minuses of how it compares to OZ.
-Tried to do a IR file transfer between Antikx's C1000 and Grog's C860... and it worked! Who knew?
-Talked about the new "Zaurus Killer" (Kohjinsha SA1F00A/B) and all agreed that the non-pocket ability and non-instant on/off made it a bit of a show stopper. There's still no real Zaurus replacement.
-Antikx showed off Final Fantasy 7 on psx4zaurus
-Talked about how offlineimap and rsync would compare in usage
-brainstormed a bit about how a Zaurus docking station could be built
-avoided getting covered in kamikaze salad dressing.

Did I miss anything?
