[TriLUG] "Palm" devices

[Michael Thompson]

I'm using one I found a Circuit City for about $40, I *was* going to buy
this one:  http://www.pocketop.net/  but I noticed the one at CC was
exactly the same, and half the price (just a different logo printed on
it, "Micro Innovations").  I installed irk on my zaurus with the
pocketop driver and it works perfectly...
