... or rather, a Psion PDA with a cool wood-like casing. Looks nifty, I never heard about it until now:

Having seen and touched one of those “in the flesh” so to speak I have to say it looks way better in pictures. It looks and feels like that fake plastic wood that Lincoln put in the Continentals in the 1970s. Yuck!

I must say I agree  Varti |

I must say I agree Varti Definitely cigar box-esque. I had almost forgotten about that variant. My question is did the casing material on that model get all gummy over the years like my poor Series 3c did? |

Drat, now I want one...similarities to certain unfortunate car interior choices notwithstanding. I did a lot of my earliest programming in OPL on my Series 3a, because it was always with me. Nothing against Turbo Pascal for DOS which I also enjoyed, but, at the time, I couldn't bring that with me on the go. Thank you for the info, too! |
