why do you have to sell a new keyboard if you have sockets that are so small, that they wouldn't interfere with the normal usage of the keyboard?

and for start/select, any of those keys that are not covered will do the job fine!!

You think the average Jo(e) is going to be able to install said socket into the keyboard wiring?

no, i'm not speaking of modifying the jornada 720.

i'm thinking of what a company might come up with for a device formfactor that is suitable for many different things, and your design seems like a good candidate to me.

so these sockets should be built-in and the gamepad should be an accessorie...

Why? We don't even have many games for this platform that require more than the stylus...

Now maybe if random Linux distributions did not keep resetting my pc's partition table, I could get pass chapter 3 and start working on that, eh?

-If I can just get that *perfect setup* I have wasted countless formats for, I would finally be productive.

--Then again, if I got away from the pc, I would also be productive...

Matrixcore, gentoo is arranged for my discretion right after ubuntu!
