Even to this date the 95/100/200 LX models remain remain really popular for thier extensive DOS compatibility - infact, the 100LX runs an almost full version of DOS 5.0. It was made by HP as the name suggests and it one of the very early palmtop computers (circa 1994!). I bought a HP 100LX last week from one of our forum members and good friend Yak ( brainpicker) and absolutely love it. and now it has come to an end with the HP 100LX. I am not a big fan of the Palm devices - call it a personal quirk but I really do not like the form factor. either they are too expensive or have too many features that I don't need (usually both) or the looks are so bad (with shiny silver crap) that I'd hate it at first sight. I have been wanting to buy a PDA for a long time now and I have practically looked into all models available today.
