    the pocket PC finding new work again is exactly the "old-new" stuff I love - a 25-year-old device still earning its keep. is it actually browsing on the PDA itself, or mostly passing the connection through? either way, OpenBSD on that hardware is a nice trick

    This article made me think about what I can do with my Pocket PC 2003-based scanner that I have.
