I caught the deal announced on /. from the shopping channel. Under $200!
As soon as I can actually synch this thing I'll be a card toting member
of AZE! I tried a perl script I found on the zaurus site (one of them,
I'm not sure which ?unofficial zaurus?) and it scrambled my evolution
files. Fortunately, I did a tar before I tested so the restore was a one
liner. Been to busy to play with it for far too long. I'm about to pop
to get the CF 802.11b card! 

Ah, toys that can also be tools!
