I've had a Siena, a few 3mxs and my 5mx in for repair there and they've all come back looking practically brand new. Upgrading the 5mx to a colour screen would be fabulous, but I suspect would involve a lot more work and effort.

I wonder what's up with the announced model. Any why doesn't it come with a color screen for a change :) I dropped them an e-mail yesterday but haven’t recieved a reply yet.

I look Psions (5mx and 7Book) off to the house today and cracked on with some work: the 5mx handled my Agenda and To Do list, the '7Book' one of the writing projects I am working on -- better keyboard on the 7. I now see that some of the newer PDAs are sporting keyboards. Imagine ...! Who would have thought that you might need a keyboard with your PDA!! The number of times I've got my 5mx out and people have marvelled that it looks like a small laptop, with a keyboard and everything! Amazing. Have you seen <a href="http://www.posltd.com">POS Ltd</a> (<a href="http://www.posltd.com">http://www.posltd.com</a>) are bringing out a 5mx clone? EBay is a good source for Psion 5mx models too.

I still don't understand how come this branch of computing died out since it's highly practical. I'm currently using a borrowed Casio Cassiopeia for simple text editing on the road but I'm looking for a Psion 5mx since I hate the Casio keyboard. It's also slow and has only 4MB of RAM. I regret not getting a Psion earlier, especially while I was at the uni. Would have made things much easier. Another comment regarding the article. What I dislike about the current PDAs which are apparently losing on popularity and dropping in sales, is the fact that they're not very practical on their own - without a PC. While a Psion is a complete stand alone system. That's what makes it great in my eyes. Cheers! As far as I’m concerned Psions are the best.
