Back in 2001 Sharp introduced the Sharp Zaurus (SL-5500) that was a Linux PDA. the Zaurus also had the ability for expansion cards -- such as a camera, wireless card, and hard wired network card. The camera is kinda cool as it rotates -- so you can have it either front or backward facing.

Needed to open up the Unix PC and see what was the cause of the failing hard drive (hoping it may have been a loose connection). It is amazing how difficult it was to open the case -- a note are the little plastic clips (you fear breaking them as you are removing the plastic). Also, notice the massive "wood" screws.
