Sharp LT numbering

To assist you in finding Sharp's logic, if any, I have a PC-1421 (handheld) which dates from 1984. I also have a PC-5000 (not NIB like Sellam's, but with more goodies :), which is apparently a year older (but somewhat larger; maybe they went by size? :) mike ------Original Message-------- From: "Lawrence Walker" <lgwalker(a)mts.net> Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2002 20:44:49 -0500 Subject: Sharp LT numbering I acquired a little while back a Sharp PC-3000. I am very enamored of it and it's possibilities. Similar to the HP95 and will use the same memory card only with a more-manageable KB. In researching it I found it came out in 91/92 and was a follow-up to the Atari Portfolio. The UK company (DIP) that designed the Portfolio and this follow- up model, offered it to Atari, which had it's own problems at that time, who declined it and then Sharp snapped it up. Sellam gave info on a Sharp PC-5000 he was selling and Joe R. on a PC-7000. These model #'s make no sense at all as I believe both of these came out before the 3K. Anyone with any insight ? Or is it just that computer makers use no logical system for model #'s Lawrence
