Just think this way - you spread the love - I am sure whoever landed your zaurus is gonna fall in love with it

But really feel sorry for you. As albertr says - time to move on to the Cxxx series.

Sincere condolances my friend, but I can tell you from experience, I gave up my beloved 5500, even wept after it went (really) to a good friend as I bought an 860, it arrived today about 2 hours ago, I am still shaking... ..you can find Z-Love again in the C series but if finances prevent that, get a 5500 from ebay, but don\'t leave the community.

Left Linux and Linux PDAs... sorry, got boring.  Switched to Mac.

chyang - as much as it hurts, you can\'t leave the z world now.  I know it for three reasons:
- you\'ve already tweaked/played around with the zaurus so much that it\'d be wasted knowledge.  Maybe not wasted, but certainly that knowledge will make you crave trying new things on a zaurus!
- really, what\'s the alternative?  no pda?  the other pdas on the market?  Since the 5500 can now be had for ~ $180 in the US, money is no longer much of an obstacle!!
- really, this is just an excuse to upgrade   It really does suck about the accessories, though...

I hope that you\'re back in business soon-

Thanks All for your kindness. Also Thanks for your suggestions. I will consider to upgrade to C860 or SL6000.
My Z is only 178$ when bought. So I won\'t bear a second 180$ Z. But SL-5500 is my favorate one.
