OT: HP 660LX Color Palmtop PC available
by svcatitc＠aol.com 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

So that the final disposition of the HP palmtop is not in question, it has been spoken for. Many thanks to Bob Shuster for his assistance. Bill Inderrieden ---------- Original Message ---------- Jim Scheef js at sdf.orgTue Mar 31 23:21:59 EDT 2020 The HP660 is eminently collectible along with the other four or five models in the HP palmtop product line based on WinCE. The DOS-based palmtops starting with the 95lx are even more interesting although not as 'rare'. Hopefully someone will take Bob's offer.Jim

by Jeffrey Jonas 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

Paywalls and membership only databases are annoying. One obstacle has been temporarily removed: The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) announces: "To help support our community working remotely during COVID-19, we are making all work published by ACM in our Digital Library freely accessible through June 30, 2020." e.g. http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=307824.307853 -- on MindForth AI -- is now freely accessible to read or download as a Portable Document FIle (PDF).
