[TenTec] Cybiko or other PDA as console for Pegasus/Jupiter

[Clark Savage Turner]

Good idea, I don't know who is working on anything like this.  I don't 
know how to figure out the population for use of such things, either, 
since I don't know anyone with the sort of PDA you speak about.

I just picked up a Sharp Zaurus PDA, it is Linux based, and it should be 
a snap to run any of the Linux based software on it (or port any C 
applications to it with some fine tuning :-)  I'm just starting to 
explore the little thing...the Geek factor is pretty high.
