WOW...those numbers are more than all my webpages combined. Now, all we need is more members.

I've recently been visiting http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/. I started visiting that site in April 2002, when I'd bought my Zaurus. I've been inactive since they changed domains but have recently been a bit more active on the web. Now all I need is to stard delving with my Zaurus again.

Speaking of which, there are new Zaurus ROMs that have been recently released. One from Sharp and one from the OZ guys. I may try them soon, although I'm dreading trying the OZ ROM. The last two times I tried, I was quickly back to the Sharp ROM. I want OZ to succeed into the mainstream but it was far too buggy for my tastes the last time I tried. It's a bit of a pain to flash the ROM, tool with OZ then reflash back to the stock Sharp ROM, all for a little taste of something that's nice and flashy but ultimately in need of some definite refinement. I need something that WORKS, so I stick with the stock ROM until I get bored or curious. My Z isn't just a plaything...I need functionality, something that's not what amounts to a science fair project.

I may try the new Sharp ROM (which is still beta, I hear) tonight or within a few days. From what I hear, its pretty nice. The last time I flashed anything was last December, I think. Time to start rereading those links that contain the flash procedures. :o)
