Re:Related rant: Updated 200LX? Anyone? Anyone? (Score 1)

Here, I would take one if HP releases an updated version of the 200 LX. I still own a HP 200 LX and a Omnigo 700 LX which is the ancestor of the Nokia Communicator (http://www.compuseum.de/e/g/computer/hp700lx.html ). I used it years ago on a daily basis to keep record of my addresses. I even used it as a mobile internet terminal (http://www.nettamer.net/tamer.html) or to send text messages. The 200 LX was used as a kind of 'eBook'. I wrote a shellscript that downloads all new threads from my subscribed newsgroups, splitted them into 250 KB sized files and transferred them via serial link to my 200 LX. I commute to work and while on the train I just had to convert the files into the format of the Newsreader I used (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?grou p_id=3765&package_id=13072) and then I was able to read them offline. I even wrote emails and newsgroup articles on the 200 LX... *sigh* Those were the days ...
