General Discussion / Are Sharp Stupid Or Is There A Reason
« on: December 12, 2004, 01:36:28 am »
Let me join the chorus of accolades for the HP 200LX, and mourn for mine that died in 2002. I actually ran an e-mail list with that palmtop as well as surfing the web and composing business correspondence, etc.. If I needed to get a letter off or put together a flier while I was travelling I'd just go into an Office Max or Office Depot, print out the hard copy of one of their demo printers, then make as many copied as I needed in their copy center. The thing would run for days on a couple AA batteries too- I once spent the scenicly challenged parts of a 2 day train trip on the Empire Builder working on the LX on just one pair of AA batteries!
Potentially the Zauri can be just as useful and longlived, provided it's following continues. A lot of the credit for keeping the LX alive goes to Thadeus Publishing, who still support the LX at www.palmtoppaper.com. Sharp's derilection of duty to support the Zaurus creates a vacuum that some entrepreneur could fill, providing a service to us users as well as a steady income for years to come.
