[olug] Zipit Wireless IMs at CompUSA

[Rob Townley]

hackman, would you hack it so that i can have a hybrid ogo.com and ZipIT
device, that way i can work in many more countries because it would be 3G

p.s. I met a guy from Canada at the Orient Hostel in Istanbul that worked on
the BeOS and the sidekick 2.
