How, exactly? It worked very well, especially

you wouldn't make a stupid assumption like "it didn't sell as well as

and their success as products that I don't.
Well, because I had to work on them at the shop. Their big deal was
supposed to be handwriting recognition, and that just didn't work very
well.
The whole thing seemed a bit clunky and slow and not very useful to
me. I think they did coin the acronym PDA... and it did lead on to
bigger and better things. (like the Ipad).
I wouldn't say no to one if someone gave me one for my collection. (;
