RTFP: 1 Zaurus SL-C3000 (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/10/15/linux_4gb _hdd_pda/) for form factor, bright touchscreen display, keyboard
Sharp is saying 7 hours for the SL-C3000 (http://www.engadget.com/entry/9534321442142743/ ) with a 1700mA battery. I have 2200mA AA batteries right now.
Are you trolling?

Thank you for your post. Slashdot has been depressing lately between the bush/kerry zealots and the IT layoff crap.

I want a clamshell and except for the price, Zaurus would be perfect. SL-C7xx and SL-C8xx are still in the +$500 price range.

FreeDSB Rocks!!! Congrats to the team for a great release!!!
That said, I want a unix handheld in a clamshell formfactor. NetBSD seems to be the OS of choice for me to use: see http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/06/05/Big_Sca ry_Daemons.html.
Any recommendations for a ~$100-$150 device to use? I want at lease 640x240 display, 802.11 in either CF or PCMCIA, ability to use a Microdrive, and some decent battery life.
I have found Jornada 728, IBM Z50, or NEC MobilePro 780/800 on eBay seem to be close. Any other suggestions?
oh yea, and this:

3 Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD
Users with existing FreeBSD systems are highly encouraged to read the ``FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE Migration Guide''. This document generally has the filename MIGRATE5.TXT on the distribution media, or any other place that the release notes can be found. It offers some notes on migrating from FreeBSD 4.X, but more importantly, also discusses some of the relative merits of upgrading to FreeBSD 5.X versus running FreeBSD 4.X.
Important: Upgrading FreeBSD should, of course, only be attempted after backing up all data and configuration files
There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company loyally for more than 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later, the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multimillion-dollar machines.
They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past. The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated, "This is where your problem is."
The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. They (bookkeepers!) demanded an itemized accounting of his charges.
The engineer responded: "One chalk mark: $1; knowing where to put it: $49,999."
It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in peace.
No, it would work that way except for the fact that the US has a progressive tax system. Your effective wage goes down, and your real wage goes up, your tax rate goes up, so your standard of living goes down.
After all, in many workplace situations the ability to get away with white lies, to save face or be diplomatic, or to smooth over or disguise mistakes and errors, is a big advantage.
After having gone through two bad business experiences with people that seem to have "flexible" ethics I'm positive that these are not long term skills I want. White lies are what lawyers call a "slippery slope" and the operative word is "lie", not "white". Covering up mistakes just ensures that they will be repeated. Frequently they will be repeated on a larger scale, i.e. Nick Leeson and Barings Bank.
Straight up, fair, honest, and responsable are the sucessful business skills that are needed. Most games can't teach character and morals - that needs to happen away from the keyboard.

Ohhhh, shiny!
I checked out the Torino Scale as well here: Torino and I'm pretty sure that these guys will be able to solve the problem!

My situation is much the same, I have multiple computers at home and we have never had spyware or adware other than cookies on the machines.
