Yes, and it definately looks interesting.  But I'm not a hardware guy.  In
fact, I think I'm a bit of a hardware-o-phobe.  I wish I had the skills to
throw together a PDA with a LART and some stock parts, but in the end, my
cost would probably be 10 times that of just buying an off-the-shelf PDA
with similar specs, and would take a lot of work outside of my domain.  I
certainly wouldn't mind learning, I'd love it, but I just don't think it's
practical for me.  I've almost literally no idea where to start with
something like this- how to turn a bunch of CAD files into a working LART
with a serial console.  Even if I did, I've an awful feeling that the cost
would end up being like $600 when all is said and done.
