My Atari 1040ST(FM) on YouTube

:-).... Actually, as I haev said before, I acutally used the membrane keybaord that could be fixed ot the outside of my student room door and which didn't have loose keycaps that could be 'borrowed'. Hmmm. Define 'computer'... Since these pocket computers generally have some kind of string handling (not just numbers), program in BASIC and have some lioited peripherals (printer and cassette recorder), I think they probably are computers. The HP71B and HP75C/D are comptuers by any reasoanble definiton. They can talk to a widne range of periphearls, including a disk drive, HPIB interface, RS232 interface, etc. They have pretty good string handling. They boath have BASIC in ROM. The HP71B can also take a Forth/Assembler ROM, the latter had Forth available on magnetic media. The hP75 could also run a text formatter program and Visicalc (!). IMHO the HP71B keyboard is useable, the HP75 one less so. -tony
