Crack ti monitor 1.8.11
An office in your pocket. I used a good half dozen different models mentioned here. I remember standing in line in college to pre-order probably a model 21 or something like that. I wish I had saved some of them. RPN calculators are practically nonexistent now. A touch screen on a phone is just not the same. Titanium cases, great keyboard and display, many of the application ROMs built-in. My wife and I also use the HPC for general use. Thing I noticed about the prime, is no stack keys. I see the 35S still does….
One thing going for the SwissMicros is the battery. One common one, instead of the 4 if memory is correct little ones in my 15c and 16c. In college seems like we all preferred the HP…. I got the LX long after it was useful, I think I was loaned it to act as a serial terminal to debug something. In the intervening 20 years I seem to have forgotten who I should return it to. At the time I bought a Psion 3a instead.
I still remember the experience of unboxing that, especially the smell. It was, at the time, very expensive to me. And I also recall the excitement of finding a built-in help system.
It felt like I was entering some sort of cyberpunk future. It was an oddly close-knit group of enthusiasts, focused on hardware that was long out of production by the time I joined the community. I had a Newton about this time.
Lots of similar experiences. I followed up with a sharp zarus and a Nokia n I think the first modem I got when I had home internet was 19k2. I know the name from I, Robot where they made fancy pants robots with some degree of free will. I did look it up then, and the book had a slightly different name. But I remember when I first saw the name, not long after the company started, and I did think they were wasting the name. Why not let a robot company have the name?
Back when we had the modem format wars of 56k X2 and 56K Flex. A lot of the modem manufacturers began touting that their modems would be upgradable to whichever standard won out, either by a flash update, swapping out a socketed ROM chip, or shipping the modem back to the manufacturer to have soldered on ROM chips upgraded.
Probably having to ship these modems with flexible enough DSPs to be able to support both standards via a firmware update also increased their pricepoint, rather than having a purpose built ASIC for the standard. As things broadened, people wanted the extras but were unwilling to spend the money. I never understood animosity towards winmodems.
Imo good tradeoff for the price difference. Could have done with a CPU about twice or three times as fast to snap it up a bit. The lx was barely capable of keeping up with a I never bothered to upgrade past a Megahertz Even connected at Yes you could have installed other DOS terminal emulators, but most of the time it was just more convenient to use the one built into the windows like GUI, rather than dropping to dos mode to fire up some other terminal emulator.
XTs usually had the i chip, which had no FiFo buffers. Without a A, higher baud rates were not stable or required careful assistance by the CPU, thus making new external modems not functioning properly. If memory serves, Win 3. Also, third-party drivers were released for Win 3. WfW 3. It could run Windows 3. I had an HPLX and really liked it. I wanted to upgrade to a LX with the better, full size screen but went with an early Palm Pilot instead. Yah you jerks, stop reminding ppl, it was bad enough just mentioning the LX but to remind ppl of the Portfolio and others too, prices were settling.
Super interesting article. Once I programmed a Zahlenraten clone [1] and pixelated a human being [2]. I just find it a pity that there is little or almost no information material on the web about the well-known models. Rather than being the first palmtop the LX still using it BTW was actually a very late entry into the palmtop market.
No, it was the best. I was going to say the same, the lx was not the first. If you only count HP then the 95lx was the first. I picked up a lx a few years ago but the screen is flaky, some day I need to figure out how to fix it. In my experience with these form factors, one really huge factor was the display. Had HP stopped with the 95LX and not gone on to develop the column models, I think they would have been much less successful.
I had long forgotten about the Poqet PC, thanks for pointing it out. Yeah I remember they were sold in huge numbers at trade shows in the mid 90s.
For bucks or so. Problem was they never really sold well originally so they were dumped on the market eventually. I even considered getting one but I was a high school student back then so it was a lot of money, and by that time they were pretty obsolete. Wait — what?! Where can I find this!? Is the source available? That would be incredibly useful in my journey to develop new software for these wonderful devices!? I did not do it all by myself. Rather I built upon some reverse engineering that a team of Germans who had partially documented the memory map of the device.
I picked up their work, made it into a usable program, and expanded to include additional features. I know it worked on the Rex 3. So there was a cradle for these units, and there were some programs to load the unit that way. I thought it was a waste to carry around a separate unit when you already could plug the thing into your palmtop, so I challenged myself to make it happen.
I have an old Rex 3 that someone donated to me a while back. Brilliant — thank you so much! I had that Rex 5 and Rex ! I even wrote some programs for them oh, the joy of substituting of constants for numbers to shave off just a few bytes to fit into the limit….
They were practically useless, but just the thrill of having such a gadget was worth it! Rex was great! As a student I used the notes, calendar and addressbook features all the time. And this was my first ebook reader :. It was killed because it was not Windows. My first introduction to HP computers was a timeshare system at university, and then an HPseries system that I set up for data aquisition at Argonne National Laboratories as a summer intern in Yes, and I thought this was going to be about the Atari.
I vaguely remember an article where someone made it a Macintosh there was a method of getting the ST to run Mac software ,thus having a portable Mac. I read about them at the same time. I had one of those Macintosh Portables; it was a gift from an employer. It was unusable. Heavy, slow, no backlight in the crummy screen. I had it about a month, sold it and bought a Mac IIci. I absolutely loved that computer. It was the perfect 68K based Mac, in my opinion.
Still works. Chris, thank you for this excellent retrospective. I was a beneficiary of the community for years, and an avid user of the LX and LX.
I started using the internet remotely like this at kind of a weird point in time. I was doing PHP work on the side. I liked working at a cafe just to get out of my apartment. Cafe wifi was a thing but expensive. Nextel phones had an internet service which they never advertised. You had to call to request it and hope you found a tech who even knew what you were asking for.
It allowed your phone to act as a dialup modem! The computer just saw it as a serial device that took AT commands. My first phone actually had a cable that went from the phone to RS! You still needed a dialup ISP to connect to. Also known as the lowest common denominator, it is the lowest number you can use in the denominator to create a set of equivalent fractions that all have the same denominator.
To find the least common denominator first convert all integers and mixed numbers mixed fractions into fractions.
Then find the lowest common multiple LCM of the denominators. This number is same as the least common denominator LCD. Here are all the features that you get in this monitor lamp. This lamp has a clam design that attaches directly to your monitor.
The size of the lamp is This kind of clamp design not only makes sure that the light falls directly on your screen and keyboard but also saves you a lot of desk space. You can use this extra desk space to keep other essential things you frequently use while working. Adjustable Lights with Auto-Dimming Features. Most LED lights you use to light up your desk space need manual adjustments for brightness and dimming. This can take up a lot of your time. However, the Quntis Monitor Lamp comes with adjustable light and has auto-dimming features that adjust the brightness and temperature according to the surrounding lights.
So, you never have to worry about the lights getting too bright or their temperature getting too high. Alternatively, if you wish to adjust these things yourself, you have that option too. You only need to turn off the auto-dimming settings in the lamp, and then you can make the adjustments yourself. This lamp comes with a blue light filter that takes extra care of your eyes. With that, it becomes easier for you to work for long working hours without feeling any pain, sensitivity, or irritability in your eyes.
