I was wondering if there were any programs that people may have written for
it.....

Ckl, Psions are small palmtop computers it's about the size of two piles of
5 3.5's and it basically has a simple version of windows with a database,
agenda, programming language, Word Processor, and a load of other
stuff...It also can get a load of add on's like Sat-nav, modems, web
browsers etc.....

Well buddy, can I join your club, I'm confused too. my favorite part of
the Kentucky Fried Movie, was when the couple was in their room with the
NEWS on, and the anchorman could see them, pretty funny that stuff.

Oh, a personal digital assisant thingy. B>]#
I've got a Newton MessagePad 100 I picked up from a liquidation.
Damn thing eats up batteries and I don't have much on software to really
utilize it by hooking it up to my computer. It does make a neat toy
though.

So we're talking something between like a cross between one of those
Newton organizers and an HP 'Calculator'.

Cool...how much?

Hmmmm....

There *should* be a few web sites and a newsgroup or two dedicated to Psion
Organisers....

They might have something...
