This reminds me about my old IBM PS/2 P70 portable pc. After 10 months or so it could not boot anymore. The IBM service guy told me that all the P70's with a serial number lower than xxx50000 did not have ground connecting on the floppy drive so the mainboard slowly got fried from static charge transfer from people inserting floppies.
Please remember that serial communication actually has a start bit also... So its 1+8+1 = 10 bita = 300/10 = 30 cps or as it where more used at that time (7bit even 2) 1+7+2 = 10 = 300/10 = 30 cps
I just got my Nokia 9210 phone - and it actually comes quite close to whtat you describe:
1. Phone
2. Internet connecting (GSM-Modem)
3. Browser/Email/WAP/SMS/Fax
4. IR camera connection
5. MultiMediaCard slot for memory etc..
6. Wordprocessing/spreadsheet etc.
7. RealPlayer/video player
8. Very nice C++ (or Java) API
9. High Speed GSM (42.3 Kbps)
10.Big bright color screen (Very cool!)
11.Long battery life
12.All the usual PIM stuff, contacts calendar etc
But you need GSM network - and you Americans are a bit behind on GSM:-)
I have tried a lot of the PDA out there and none of them actually made my day easier - until I got an Nokia 9110 Phone (GSM).. This is just the best PDA there is.
1. I got it with me cause its my phone
2. Its connected to the internet www+email+etc...
3. It has a gerat calender with lots of sync options and even groupcalender functions (For multply 9110's)
4. I can do faxes
5. I can do sms's
6. I can do program for it (Funky Borland C + stuff - The 9210 will have better programming tools (EPOC))
7. It has a lot of memory (flash card socket)
The only thing that might be better is the 9210 - If Nokia will release it ! I'm waiting.
The best product never continued from HP

was the HP16C calculator - the only real programming calculator ever made. On eBay the 16C goes for high prices - not to collectors, but to people who needs a great calculator to use for work.
All the later HP calculators sucks as a programmers calculator:-(
You have one very secret option - use Lua - a great language for writing programs fast.

This will do all that you ask and much more:-) and the license is just plain free (real free) not GPL "free" - Do whatever you want with the source.
Well I got one.. The Yabasic works.. It can do simple character based programs and simple 2D graphics. It even has PEEK and POKE.. So we just need to find the address for the DVD region code:-)
BTW: The population of Denmark is ~ 5 million so this is one playstation for 625 people, compared to the US when the initial launch was one for each 280 people.
1. A company would never pay a ransom to a cracker group. This would just give 10 other groups the signal to try to do the same.
2. A "Stock Option" is the right to buy stock in a company to a fixed price (Hopefully below the current trading price:-) So this requires that they actuallly have some money to invest in stocks?
3. If they have money to buy options it would be great for Sega to sell them the stocks (And thereby getting the revenue from the pirate copies) - And with the PS2 being released soon - holding Sega shares would properly not be a wise idea.
Take a look at OS'es and stuff in the embedded scene, there are tons of commercial packages that are "you pay for our source" driven, cause when people build custom hardware they have to patch/modify/change/enhance the product in order for it to run on their hardware.
I just love the "edge of technology agency NASA" who releases press releases on FTP - Way to go NASA.. Let me fire up the old FTP client and read some press releases:-)

They are properly running their webserver on a uClinux DIMM computer :-)) (Or maybe a TI calculator)

This is completly useless in non-english speaking countries where we have several extra letters - in this case we need a extra shift key :-((

8000 is the number until 12-31-2000 ... The US only got 500000 at first shipment, but two or three shipments has already been delivered :-)
