Let's stay together -- Palm and Linux edition
I came across this very cool and helpful Web site, Palm Heads: Cool Palm, Tandy and Linux Stuff We Actually Use. There's information on how to make the Palm handheld computer play with Linux, including pointers to the J-Pilot desktop PIM, Pilot mailsync for Linux and more.
Also, check out PalmHeads' Tandy 102 page, on the first great portable computer, which, believe it or not, some sportswriters at the Daily News still use:
This computer shared alot of the similarities with the PalmPilot now. It has an Address Book, a built-in Text Editor, an Appointment Book. What it had that a PalmPilot doesn't is a built-in modem (at a frightning speed of 300 baud), & a full travel keyboard. It also only had 24K (expandable to 32K) & an 8-bit processor! Chuck in 20 hours battery life on 4 AA batteries & you can start to see its advantages over modern laptops.
Go to Club 100 to find out more from the users group for Tandy 100, 102 and 200 owners.
