[OpenAFS] OpenAFS on the Palm Pre smartphone!

[Troy Benjegerdes]

I see the point of not having a full blown file mananger. But AFS as a 'library'
to locate .. say some sort of search index that was generated on a desktop
would be darn spiffy. 

There is at least one webos file manager I've seen.

email in maildir on afs with local dovecot seems like a pretty quick hack
that gets me a long way towards what I've been wanting for a long time now.

FYI, Now i'm getting this...

Hopefully I have it working once I land ;)

Troy Benjegerdes                'da hozer'                hozer@hozed.org  

Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues
of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping houses, and the blessed sun himself
a fair, hot wench in flame-colored taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst
be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.  I wasted time and now doth
time waste me.                        -- William Shakespeare
