| 02:45.56 | |QuaD- | hey all... anyone around? |
| 02:46.54 | |QuaD- | i have a question about the sl-6000 |
| 02:47.03 | |QuaD- | i am interested in purchasing one |
| 02:47.07 | marteen | hey |QuaD- |
| 02:47.15 | marteen | i have one of those |
| 02:47.30 | |QuaD- | are they still sold retail? |
| 02:47.45 | |QuaD- | thats not my question |
| 02:47.54 | |QuaD- | but it is one i have |
| 02:48.38 | marteen | i heard SHARP removed them from the USA market, but I guess Amazon still has some |
| 02:48.58 | |QuaD- | marteen: how do you like urs? |
| 02:49.07 | |QuaD- | i really want to purchase a linux based pda |
| 02:49.16 | |QuaD- | but they are soo expensive compared to nonlinux based |
| 02:50.01 | marteen | i love mine, the only feature lacking is the format |
| 02:50.16 | |QuaD- | format? |
| 02:50.18 | marteen | it would be just perfect if it was clamshell |
| 02:50.28 | subdue | that's not amazon |
| 02:50.28 | marteen | like the Cxxx series |
| 02:50.35 | subdue | that's pvt sellers |
| 02:50.48 | |QuaD- | ohhh.. do you think it is worth the extra money compared to an ipaq? |
| 02:50.50 | marteen | but the clamshells don't carry integrated wi-fi nor usb host |
| 02:51.20 | |QuaD- | marteen: thats why i am hesitant to get a clamshell... i wanted integrated wifi and usb host |
| 02:51.44 | marteen | |QuaD-: yep, i preferred those 2 features instead of the larger keyboard |
| 02:51.55 | marteen | with usb host, you can plug a keyboard and it works |
| 02:52.14 | |QuaD- | marteen: is it worth the xtra money over an ipaq? |
| 02:52.22 | marteen | and you can plug in your usb mass storage compliant usb hdd |
| 02:52.59 | marteen | there's an ipaq with lots of hardware features, very close to the sl6000l... but |
| 02:53.10 | marteen | ... it's not linux based |
| 02:53.24 | |QuaD- | marteen: you can get linux for it though |
| 02:53.32 | marteen | anyway, you can probably put linux on that power ipaq in the future |
| 02:53.37 | marteen | yes, that's it |
| 02:53.46 | |QuaD- | hmm, now i don't know what to do |
| 02:53.52 | marteen | but, the support for everythong is not the same as native linux |
| 02:54.06 | marteen | s/everythong/everything/ |
| 02:54.48 | marteen | bluetooth is also cool in your pda, so i got a bluetooth CF card |
| 02:54.54 | marteen | works fine... |
| 02:55.28 | |QuaD- | i had bluetooth on my phone, never relaly used it |
| 02:55.58 | marteen | the feature i use most is internet sharing from the cell phone |
| 02:56.16 | marteen | you can have your cellphone in your pocket and surf the net from your zaurus |
| 02:57.06 | marteen | is sloooooww... but cool |
| 02:57.21 | marteen | enough for an ssh session for example |
| 02:57.55 | marteen | anyway, that's supposed to get faster as technology improves |
| 02:58.24 | |QuaD- | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:58.46 | marteen | aah.. sure, i don't have a pdaphone... |
| 02:59.07 | |QuaD- | i have a t-mobile sidekick, i love the thing |
| 02:59.14 | marteen | ha, nice... |

| 04:22.27 | |QuaD- | i don't want an unsupported device |

| 04:32.08 | aTypical | ChipX86, I missed it. Why doesn't |QuaD- want a Z? |
| 04:32.45 | ChipX86 | he doesn't want an unsupported device |
| 04:32.52 | |QuaD- | ChipX86: i don't mean unsupported as in software, i mean in sense of hardware |
| 04:32.57 | |QuaD- | like if something goes |
| 04:32.59 | ChipX86 | that's what I mean to |
| 04:33.00 | ChipX86 | er, too |
| 04:33.06 | |QuaD- | ohh, ok |
| 04:33.23 | |QuaD- | in general... or just the current ones |
| 04:33.37 | ChipX86 | unless you live in Japan, Sharp's not going to support you |
| 04:34.08 | |QuaD- | ChipX86: no new ones coming out? |
| 04:34.54 | aTypical | But if you buy one from a reputable seller they will help you while it's under warrantuy. |

| 06:00.26 | kairi | or is this a good thing? ;x |
| 06:01.38 | JrHacker | welll... |
| 06:01.42 | JrHacker | I'm hoping it's a good thing |
| 06:01.46 | JrHacker | :) |
| 06:01.55 | JrHacker | it's my first time, I'm switching it to OZ |
| 06:02.46 | ChipX86 | I need to flash mine again |
| 06:02.52 | JrHacker | bad thing? |
| 06:03.20 | ChipX86 | they're just all so outdated. I haven't used them in a long time |
| 06:03.26 | JrHacker | all? |
| 06:03.30 | ChipX86 | I have three |
| 06:03.31 | JrHacker | you have more than one? |
| 06:03.40 | JrHacker | what in the world... |
| 06:03.42 | JrHacker | ? |
| 06:03.50 | ChipX86 | I bought one, Sharp gave me one, and LinuxFund gave me one |
| 06:03.58 | JrHacker | Sharp gave you one? |
| 06:04.07 | JrHacker | LinuxFund _gave_ you one? |
| 06:04.08 | ChipX86 | they had a programming challenge thing |
| 06:04.29 | ChipX86 | well, LinuxFund lent me one, but they haven't requested it back and I haven't sent it yet |
| 06:04.43 | ChipX86 | Sharp gave me a SL-5000D for BilliardZ |
| 06:04.58 | JrHacker | BilliardZ? |
| 06:05.00 | ChipX86 | it doesn't work so well anymore |
| 06:05.05 | ChipX86 | yeah |
| 06:05.10 | JrHacker | what's that? |
| 06:05.20 | ChipX86 | a billiards game for the Zaurus |
| 06:05.40 | JrHacker | and... why would they give you a Z just for a game? |
| 06:05.57 | ChipX86 | they wanted software written |
| 06:06.08 | ChipX86 | so they gave a bunch away in exchange for completed projects |
| 06:06.35 | ChipX86 | and LinuxFund lent me one for qpe-gaim development |
| 06:06.37 | kairi | Chip kinda wrote BilliardZ ;x |
| 06:06.56 | JrHacker | ooooh |
| 06:07.02 | JrHacker | I see |
| 06:07.09 | ChipX86 | oh, guess I didn't communicate the "I wrote it" part |
| 06:07.17 | JrHacker | :) |
| 06:07.17 | ChipX86 | yeah, they didn't give me one so I could play it :) |
| 06:07.30 | JrHacker | yeah... that was kinda a weird statement |
| 06:07.32 | JrHacker | :) |
| 06:07.49 | kairi | heh, my school donated an Apple IIe to keep me out of their dumpsters! :P |
| 06:07.54 | ChipX86 | hah |
| 06:07.55 | JrHacker | ?? |
| 06:07.57 | JrHacker | nice.. |
| 06:08.28 | JrHacker | hooray! my flash worked and only took like... one minute |
| 06:08.33 | ChipX86 | hrm, I need to take a non-sucky pic of myself |
| 06:08.47 | kairi | Sucky is only your self-perception ;x |
| 06:08.59 | ChipX86 | yeah, well, I hate my pics |
| 06:08.59 | kairi | If you want to see some sucky-ass pictures...I am sucky-ass in pictures |
| 06:09.06 | ChipX86 | heh |
| 06:09.30 | ChipX86 | got one I can see? |
| 06:09.48 | ChipX86 | I want to get one taken for my girlfriend, but I think it'd have to be professionally done |
| 06:09.53 | kairi | lemme dig, most of them are grainy as hell ;x |
