Are these worth buying for notetaking? How would one transfer notes to ones computer?

>>56578338

Yo

>>56578785
Sup, hows it working?

>>56578875
It works as it did when it was new really, had to get a new coin battery but it takes AA's and lasts for weeks of regular use
Good for notes and stuff, calculator and a calendar at work where I can't use my smartphone

>>56578919
thought for getting one like that for converting my notes to a digital format. opinion?

>>56579114
Might be a good choice, depends if you want to take the notes off the device though.
That Casio is pretty basic, no ports of any kind except some wierd proprietary port that only works with a special PCI card that was made in 1995 and only works with Windows 3.1

Get one with a CF card slot or a PCMCIA slot and things get a lot more easy to work with and the machines themselves become much more useful.
At that point though, might as well buy a Palm PDA

DOS palmtops were the best

http://www.tankraider.com/DOSPALMTOP/list.html

Why doesn't some China company make a greyscale palmtop with 50 hour battery for installing gentoo on?

The bad thing about this is that most of them cost $150+ and I dont really think it is worth the price

Only an autist will not know when to use the informal conversationalist form.

Wow I remember having a HP Jordana, had a docking station and Windows CE with an XP theme.

Those were the days....

Or perhaps she doesn't see at all ?

It's inappropriate for the situation you autismo. Although I kinda wish it wasn't.

360LX here, definitely prefer it over the Psion 5mx and 200LX. I also have the Jornada 720, but it has calibration issues.

Do you know what apostrophes are? I don't shit on people for grammar most of the time, but when they come on a cancerous imageboard trying to make themselves look superior because they're saying "one" and "one's" when they could be saying less autistic words, you deserve it.

I will take a deeper look at it tomorrow. I still have some of it installed. Thanks, have some kisses. It's nice to know some people nowadays still use this nice little piece of Hardware.

Are Sony Vaios any fucking good?

Finally got myself one of these with a battery that actually charges for a whole $4, it's pretty damn nice so far for Excel and emulating shitty GBC games

Where does /g/ get their software for old PDAs? It seems like there isn't much still out there for PPC2002.

>>56579815
What activities do you do on them?

Doubt it, all those PDAs have german keyboards

How does it emulate GBC games? Post pics

I actually own this model. really disappointed the battery finally died, I used it for a good chunk of my high school and college experience (the universal remote pre-installed was neat).

Anyone know a good place to order the expansion pack/batteries they used to make, or have they vanished entirely into the ether?

Seems there's some good shit lurking around in the forums.

>>56588203
Admittedly I haven't tried a wide variety of games on this thing, mostly just Pokemon Crystal, but it runs it perfectly with the gnuboy emulator, which I've had great luck with in the past on other handhelds. Just make sure you pause the emulator before switching to another applications.

Would love to know this as well. I found a site a while back that was selling batteries for these things for ~$20 but the SSL certificate was expired and I was kind of iffy about it.

Would really like to get wifi/CF on this thing to use it as a terminal or something of the like.

>>56587729
some native stuff: ms word, telnet, irc, packet radio, oldass roguelikes, web browsing with doslynx (SLOW)

stuff if I use it as a terminal into an openwrt router: better web browsing, email, ssh, all sorts of other linuxy bullshit

I still use a 1997 Palm Pro every day

>>56590614
What do you use it for?

>>56590614
>tfw have an orig. Pilot 5000 but I lost it last year and have no idea where I put it
I even found some software for it, nifty as fuck.

Too bad the hinges suck on those. The HP's and the Sharp's are beautiful machines.
