Your inability to get VGA output from you Zaurus notwithstanding, I think we 
all enjoyed last night's ALE Central presentation on Zauri.  Dow gave a good 
overview of the state of the art in Open Source Zaurus software and operating 
systems.

There were at least 5 Zaurus users present, and I, for one, was thrilled to 
get to play a little with one of the clamshell models after the talk.

Next month: Linux on Linksys.
