First Post for my RC2021/10 Entry

Well, I had hoped to do some work on an Apple II project, but my theme category for RC2021/10 "The Millennials" isn't getting many particpants. As a result, I will join the fun there and work on my circa 2002 Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 linux based PDA, hopefully completing a ridiculous project that I always wanted to do.
To do List:
Dig the Zaurus out of my "Sell on eBay" bin.
Replace the battery (it only lasted 1/2 hour to begin with)
Install a mouse driver
Get a serial mouse connected and working
End goal: Use the Zaurus, directly mounted on the mouse, as video display/keyboard/mouse to interact with VNC running on the Zaurus to control my Mac.
