  They're only available used now -- and there was a later model
than mine made by Prolinear with a 386 -- the Zeos is only a 8088
at 4.7hz, but fast enough for writing. Touch typable keyboard,
about the smallest one there is, really -- and just barely, you
type about 3/4 speed. Battery life was too short, also, I
thought. Only two AAs, should have had 4. But they're for sale
occasionally on the palmtops newsgroup for about $250. Have two
PCMCIA slots, no drives, !meg ROM w/DOS5, MS-WORKS, and then 1
meg of RAM.

  I think I'd rather have a Compaq Aero. Not quite as small,
but not nearly so limited either. I got a Compaq Concerto because
I wanted the 486, big HD, and the pen, but it's way too heavy.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the
answer is NO.
