The screen is the only bit I have seen!

One of my colleagues has been GIVEN one and you can see the screen lit up
across the office!
And I have to agree it is absolutely fantastic!

But what else can it do that my Psion cannot?
Actually just thought of one thing I bet you can not do with a Compaq, and
that is fix it with two panel pins, some super glue and a hot spanner!

OK so I dropped my Psion on a hard place!!! (the loo floor) and it busted
the hinges but being an engineer amongst other things I was not going to
pay
someone to fix it for me!
