Well, I made a impulse purchase of a Sharp Zaurus 5500 when they first went on clearout sale. But this wasn’t such a good idea since Laurie then wanted to get a PDA, so we got here a Palm 500 for a good price at CompUSA and then using DualDate with my Palm III seemed like a much better idea since we both had the same handheld platform. Unfortunately, I’ve been having issues geting the two to talk over IR with each other. But bottom line is that I’ll be switching back to the PalmOS platform, even if I have to buy a 500 for myself, so selling the Zaurus on ebay seems like the right thing to do.
