Developer PDA Q&A

[Buddy Brannan]

Y'all:

Those interested in this project, join the list. I'm on it, and it promises
to be interesting PDQ. This could well be a great entry into a cheaper (or
at least more powerful) PDA for blind folks if we can work with something
mainstream in its design phase.

>HOWEVER...we need to get all of our questions and answers into our

>spending our time answering the same questions more than once or twice

>If you have not joined the mailing list *and* you want to be a MyLinux
>"PLW" developer, please join the list now.  Future developer information
>regarding devices will be asserted through the list.

>I appreciate the overwhelming response to the call for contributors.  We
>should have 12 units to send out by the middle to end of January.  We're
>planning to build another *200* units by the end of March.  We're a long
>way from that point today, but we're working toward it as mindfully as
>possible.
>
>Everyone involved in the project needs to take an active role in
>promoting it to other developers and the public so that we attract the
>level of sponsorship needed to help us get over each new level as it
>comes.
>
>I'm dying to tell everyone everything, but I'm trying to be practical
>about it at the same time...and save my "breath" by typing it just once
>on the public list :)
>
>Please pardon me if you're already on the mailing list an am getting
>this message more than once.  I've BCC'd all of the people who have
>shown an interest in getting a Developer Edition "PLW" or Pocket Linuw
>Workstation.
>
>I'll post a list message by Sunday (Arizona Time) morning if I don't get
>killed at the race track Saturday...that message should contain more
>information regarding the developer project, the devices and more.
>
>Between now and then...start asking QUESTIONS!  I'll answer them as best
>I can as they appear!  I'd like for the developers on this project to
>take a moment to introduce themselves, too...on the MAILING list, not to
>me!

>Name (first last):
