Arf 8) I been there too - got second device (used to order one via my
company to do some development few weeks prior to JavaOne) in one of
those lines. Was relatively painless to me - only 15 mins. On other hand
- my friend spend 2.5 hrs 
staying in bloody line in first day 8)

Point is - each year there is some gadget on sale at JavaOne that i saw
- dirt cheap Palms on 99, Blackbery's on 00 (those werent cheaper at
all), Zaurus'es on 02 . Developers trying to attract attention to new
toys, plus dump stock of developer's versions of gadgets.

I hope zaurus will not fall in same pit as previous two devices - i.e it
actually will evolve and support more and more stuff and devices 8)

===========

Now i am getting wandered if someone managed to get it work ok with SuSE
2.4.18 kernel on Soltek's motherboard (and where the heck mantel's
kernels anyway for past week - directory is deserted. Gone in production
for 8.0 ?)

Patch for Zauruses for 2.4.18 isnt quite applying to  SuSe's 2.4.18  8(
And even after patching Makefile by hands - usbdnet still seems not
quite loaded... 8(  USB seems to work though.. (as in - mouse and kbd
are on usb)


Cheers,
