Tonight Live on the LinuxShow: Taschek "makes" news , the VERY cool Agenda VR3 and a surpriseApr 24, 2001, 20:17 (1 Talkback[s])[ Thanks to Jeff Gerhardt for this link. ] Tuesday, April 24th, 2001 At 6pm pst, 7pm rmt, 8pm cst, and 9pm east.... Kevin Hill, Jeff Gerhardt, PJ Hyett, Doc Searls(Linux Journal), and Arne Flones have another great show lined up tonight on The Linux Show!! In Segment One - Hot News: We will be covering
the hot Linux news of the week. In particular we will talk about
the
recent story by John Taschek at ZD Net and how it sure seems
John is trying more to make the news than report on it. In
Segments Two- Agenda Computing: and the VR3 PDA (way
cool) The mission of Agenda is to bring users a new family of powerful and portable Linux computers at affordable prices (we all like that). Agenda's vision is to deliver all the things users have come to expect in a handheld device on an exciting computing platform that's packed with the CPU power, the memory and the storage needed to handle desktop-class applications. Each Agenda VR3 and VR3r is loaded with unique software and hardware features like 16MB of Flash memory (hint- flash eliminates the problem of data loss associated with RAM-based units), something unheard for a list price of $249. It also supports 7 languages, is e-mail compatible, and will send a memo or message to a printer by wireless infrared transfer. Jeff has been working with the VR3 for the last couple days, and has a number of personal observations about the product, including a report about his 10 year old daughter Elizabeth and her interaction with the VR3. click here for close up photo of VR3 In Segments Three- The Loki Announcement: Other opinions are welcome at GeekCast.
