[wplug] Zaurus SL-5500 clearance

[Bill]

You know I had to look at that page over a dozen times before I noticed
that it was for the 5600.  I couldnt for the life of me understand why
that page explained why the product was being sold cheaply. :)  

I myself have never been a pda fan.  I've just never seen how these
items are useful.  Could those of you with Zauruses explain how you
leverage the benefits of you pda's (beyond simple date/phone book stuff,
of course)? 

I just spent a ton of dough getting broadband setup (they finally got
cable access in my neighborhood!) at my house.  I need some help
convincing myself to spend more. :)
