And thinking about how in recent weeks suddenly the trade rag parrots (a.k.a. "journalists") have started singing the Microsoft Party Line on WindowsCE. Others here have joked of Perl-on-a-chip. I don't think that is so bad of an idea. Like it better than Java on a chip. Maybe I'd buy a pocket organizer with PerlCE as an OS. What the heck? The HP-41C is my favorite pocket computer. Own 6 of 'em, I better like them. :-) Anyone porting FreeBSD (or Perl) to the HP-41C yet? Think these guys at http://dd.sh/perlfs/ could be inspired? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
