[Wolves] PDAs

[Jono Bacon]

Heya,

one other thing to recommend the Zaurus (it is does
what you need it to do) - it has a built in keyboard
which makes dealing with a shell *far* easier. I have
quite large hands and it is big enough. OK
guys...bring on a joke about me saying I have large
hands...you know you want to...
