Is there JVM for OZ?  How can I run those applets that used to run with
Jeod?  I also hae a copy of PSC (Personal Sky Charts) that ran with an
earlier version of OZ, I might be able to get the owner to rebuild a
copy.  But if not, I'll probably be going back to an old version of OZ
or the Sharp ROM

With the hardware orphaned, if the software gets orphaned, too, then
there is little incentive to keep the device except as a paperweight.
I'm *very* disappointed because I was going to switch from using my
Newton which is quite a bit older than the Zaurus (and still working
quite well).  But OZ's PIM apps are inferior (even the Sharp ones) and
now I find that packages only a couple of years old won't run with the
newer OS.
