    It's really a nice number. You may be aware of its factors (2*11497)... Yes, it's quite pleasant here. Thanks for inquiring and have a pleasant day. ~~G

    A "theory" is one of those not-quite-precise-enough words of which people may hold reasonably different definitions. We should just call it the "Axiom of Evolution" -- that will keep the philosophers happy. People can choose different sets of axioms, just be prepared to see where they lead.

    Easy: I want it to have the same form factor as my HP200LX, i.e. with a "real" keyboard for input but I can put the thing in my pocket. Must run Linux, but port the best of HP's PIM software from DOS, all based on a simple built-in database engine, which drove the appointment book, phone book, todo list, etc. Must have a built in RPN calculator. Must have instant on and off: no rebooting unless you ask for it, which requires constant memory.

    C'mon, I was doing this (and Lotus 1-2-3 too) on the 200LX ten years ago! I just want it to run Linux now. Is this so hard?

    Thanks for the swedish information.

    For those moderators who don't have a Star Trek clue, it refers to Scotty's line in "A Piece of the Action" when he doesn't know what a `heater' is.
