Thanks for a brilliant series. Certainly brought back lots of memories - good and bad. Your penultimate sentence really does sum up the competition between manufacturers over the past twenty years. Excellent Shaun.

I used these for PIM calendar, contacts, & memos long before the Psion, Newton, & HP's. They had good keyboards, decent screens, & good performance for 25 years ago. Don't forget the Atari & Poqet PC as well - full-fledged DOS PC's in your pocket that could run WordPerfect among other apps. Shaun,
