Nah, I'm not. Too scared meself. :) Actually, OZ for the model I have
(C700) hasn't been around long enough for me to make a decision whether
I want to try it or not (I'm what the French call velleitaire to a
frightening degree). Mucking things up wouldn't have any dramatic
effects, though, you can always flash the original ROM back in place.
Sharp provides images for that on their developer website.

There must be ways to emulate an ARM environment like the Zauri run on,
but I've never looked into that. The universally accepted routine of
going about this is cross-compiling on a desktop and trying it out on
the poor handheld victim, I believe...
