Hi all, Nothing wrong with your ideas, Chris, they're just a mite misplaced. If you could revamp a BN like that you'd disrupt your warrantee, you'd probably wreck the machine and all. You might try it on a PacMate, but I dunnow as you'd have any luck. If you want a notetaker with Linux, buy an Elba. As for putting Linux on a PDA, it's being done. Just do a mite more research.
