Real suspend would be a killer app.  As it is now, I shut down netbsd 
every time I get on a plane and reboot later to save the battery. 
IrDA working would be fun, too.  I still have one of those old cell 
phones which can be used as a GPRS modem over IR, but that would 
really just be the icing on the cake.

I'll be happy if I just manage to upgrade my 3.99.8 system to 4.0 
(plus moving it to a much larger CF) without major headaches.  Stay 
tuned.
