You have have me confused with another Los Angeles based “Hunter Davis”. He’s in the Safe Auto commercials and the gandalf impression videos on youtube. I’m in the hacking videos on youtube.

Anything with apt-get installed and working is an easier transition from the desktop imho. It's very easy to connect to wireless, and many have custom scripts or graphical frontends to make it easier. Hope you get it soon, and the flashing goes well. Good luck! /H Hey Oleg,

I ordered one yesterday, but until it arrives I'm trying to figure out the steps that I need to hack it. I'm not computer challenged but when it comes to linux I quickly get lost in the directions that are posted on the websites. I know there are a few versions of linux that I can put on it. Which one is the most user-friendly and easy to use? Is there a particular version that is easier to flash/boot than others? Is it pretty easy to connect the device to home wireless. If you could just point me in the right direction it would be great. Thanks again in advance. Oleg Hi,

I'm pretty sure you could fit an arduino and an ethernet shield in one as well. Sorry to hear about your comment wipe! Your host might let you do a direct mysql database backup but otherwise Wordpress has some nice backup facilities built in. Hope the project goes well!

I always like the psion org2 when they came out but i never had a chance to get one when they first came out. many more priorities for my salary. beer budget, rent to parents, dinners with girlfriends and travel..... but i was googling around a couple of months ago looking for something to do and managed to pursuade someone to give me a few bucks in my paypal account so i picked up a couple just for the hell of it. if nothing else they make great weapons, you clobber someone in the back of the head with one and they stay clobbered. i've found a couple of interesting sites where someone has made one into a bikeputer http://home.c2i.net/trygveh/english/gadgetman/pocket/psion/index.html which might be a fun simple project and another where someone made an expansion box for the top slot for running a few sensors and controling a camera that looks pretty simple http://www.strickling.net/orginter.htm i'm sure i'll think of a few more things to do with them too. [also picked up some other retro hardware in the last few weeks, i love it when older friends decide to have a clear out -- ended up with a psion series 3a (needs a new flexicable), a mint poqet pc, a Zilog Super8 dev board, a Zilog Z8 dev board and a metric s***load of Iomega Zip Disks which i'm sure i'll think of something to do with them, possibly some arts and crafts] Thanks.

Maybe somebody who reads this will have one? I'll ask around when I head into DLabs on Monday. Sounds like a fun project is brewing! Hey RK,

I now have a couple of psion organiser II's and some datapaks which are eproms but they are full of junk that needs erasing so i can use them and i don't have an eprom eraser at the moment.
