[tlug] New or used PDA's in Tokyo?

["James Calver" <parkay_avenger@example.com>]

Hello,

I've been a lurker on this list for a while, and I finally have a question I 
hope someone here can help me with.  I'm looking to buy a PDA soon, but I'm 
having trouble finding them in Japan.  I haven't really seen them around, 
and when I went to look at Bic camera, all they had that they called PDA's 
was a small collection of portable GPS's, not really PDA's.

Does anyone know of any good places to buy either a new or used PDA?  I 
imagine there must be somewhere in Akihabara, but I could probably spend 
days searching around and not find anything on my own.  I'm looking for 
something with just basic PDA functions.  All the fancy bells and whistles 
would be nice, but I don't want to spend a lot of money.

Since this is my first post I should include a little about myself.  I came 
to Tokyo about 2 years ago from Canada.  I've been in the dabbling with 
Linux for a while.  I've used Redhat the most.  I tried to install Gentoo 
once and failed, and I'm currently using Ubuntu right now.  Ubuntu seems 
like a really nice setup, definitely easier to setup then Gentoo (at least 
Gentoo of a few years ago).  I still remember trying to setup Gentoo, and 
the several pages long set of instructions.  It went great until I tried to 
reboot, and realized I had forgotten a setting in the booting section (boot 
loader?).  So the system booted up, and there was nothing there like lilo to 
load the system.  That was as far as I got.

I am hoping to make it to the meeting on Saturday, the two talks sound very 
interesting.
Also, thank you in advance for any help about finding a PDA in Tokyo, and 
sorry that this e-mail is not really about Linux.
