I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my beloved PDA, and whether I really need it.

The OS is pretty solid (until you go reflashing it with something more experimental), compatibility with Linux is perfect, and the thing can even be overclocked to a limited degree. :-)

But this fun has a price. I’ve started discovering that every time I get out the PDA, it’s for one of two reasons. Most of the time, I use it to waste time by tinkering with various things
