04:38.27MirT60ok
04:38.34Kasm279I mean
04:38.39MirT60Windows mobile pwns the pre linux based palms
04:38.42Kasm279winmo might be more powerful in terms of some of the things you can do
04:38.43MirT60end of story
04:38.45Kasm279but
04:38.50Kasm279palm os is so much easier to use
04:38.55MirT60nope
04:38.57Kasm279yep
04:38.59MirT60i disagree
04:39.05Kasm279how is it not easier to use?
04:40.06MirT60well
04:40.09MirT60umm
04:40.27MirT60i will say its not like Toshiba or Sony's Win Mobile stuff
04:40.55MirT60but if Toshiba hadnt made the Windows Mobile one we would not have the Zune
04:41.17MirT60oh
04:41.20MirT60Wifi
04:41.49MirT60iirc the T3 isnt not wifi capable unless you get the SD adapter
04:41.51Kasm279wifi on my alphasmart dana isn't hard at all
04:41.56Kasm279and yeah
04:41.58joshua_mzb_, haha look at the site
04:41.59MirT60in which case you have no storage capacity
04:42.23MirT60Kasm279: you had an Alpha Smart too?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
04:42.36MirT60donated all 6 of his to his Highschool
04:42.43joshua_MirT60, Kasm279, what has this to do with Linux on handheld platforms?
04:43.02MirT60the Dana i donated to the Assistive Technology Center at my College
04:43.25Kasm279MirT60: I still have it
04:43.41MirT60joshua_: this channel is like ##ibmthinkpad
04:43.50joshua_no it's not
04:44.01MirT60its a place to talk about portable handheld computer's
04:44.08Kasm279also
04:44.18joshua_yeah, no
04:44.29Kasm279emulating a game boy's screen on the T3's is tiny
04:45.33Kasm279luckilly it scales perfectly to the width of the screen
04:47.20MirT60joshua_: it would be nice to get linux running on my T3
04:47.34MirT60but alas all the links to the documentation is pretty much gone
04:47.54joshua_indeed
04:48.18MirT60and all the links to Familiar are also pretty much gone
04:48.24Kasm279^
04:48.34MirT60pokes Kasm279 with DSlinux
04:48.35Kasm279the T3 is quite the piece of engineering though
04:48.39joshua_also true; I wish George would just give me the domain and data
04:48.40MirT60yea
04:48.52MirT60easier to install linux than on the E2
04:49.49Kasm279MirT60: but
04:49.54Kasm279dat slider *o*
04:50.23MirT60Kasm279: i said the T3 is easier to install linux on than the E2
04:50.38Kasm279oh
04:51.56MirT60Kasm279: i had to get rid of the dana to make room for some 14" T60
04:51.58MirT60:)
04:52.28Kasm279lame
04:52.31Kasm279the Dana is awesome
04:52.38MirT60Palm OS with a word processor or a Linux Machine with Open Office
04:52.42MirT60<.<
04:52.51MirT60i miss the AA batteries though
04:53.06Kasm279lol
04:53.09Kasm279I had a custom battery pack made
04:53.17Kasm279holds 2100mah instead of 1600
04:53.33Kasm279the keyboard on the Dana and Neo is lovely
04:54.00Kasm279nearly as good as the thinkpad's
04:56.10MirT60joshua_: do you know how i can set DSlinux to stop booting to Familiar?
04:56.28MirT60found Familiar is painful on the NintendoDS
04:57.13Kasm279edit rc.d iirc
04:57.26Kasm279also
04:57.30Kasm279when did dsl get familiar?
04:57.33Kasm279mine has pixil
04:57.52joshua_I have no idea
04:58.08MirT60Opal or Familiar
05:05.05Kasm279yay
05:05.11Kasm279ljp works wonderfully on the T3
05:06.51MirT60wonders if Kasm279 would want an E2
05:06.58MirT60V1 and V2
05:07.44Kasm279maybe
05:07.49Kasm279not a fan of the E series really
