my ex had some rebranded Compaq Wince with Super-H CPU and a
reflective screen that ran off AA batteries.  It only had 4MB RAM
though.

motherfucker.

yeah i'm surprised mine still works with what I do to it.

The biggest thing i hate about it is the spin-up delay.  Often when I
press a key the MD has to spin up before the keypress is processed.
Not only is the delay annoying, but Xhpc has soft key repeat, so all
the time I press c and get cccc, or press <space> and advance three or
four screens to the next email message, instead of just to the next
screenfull of text.  I'm hoping the gradual work on fine-grained
locking stuff for real-time and SMP will make this go away some day
after the big 2.0.
