The title is "1st Palm Computer" ... the item is a Psion Organiser II.
I understand that no one will dig like I have about the history of handhelds
... but geez, the only research this doofus had to do is to read the big
letters on the cover of the instruction manual ... Where it says "II" as in
"not the first." :)
Nitpicks...(I know none of these apply to the machine in question, but...)
1) The -I and -II might have come out at the same time and differ in,
say, memory size only
2) The -I might not have been a palmtop computer. it might have been a
desktop or something.
Anyway, I've learnt over the years to not trust anything an E-bay seller
says in a description, other than the model number (most of the time!).
Certainly not things like 'rare', 'first', etc. :-)
I kindly pointed this out in a message to the seller (sans the "doofus"
part.) The seller's reply tonight was "Get a life!!"
I see. So it's OK to misrepreset products now, is it?
