Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

I'm currently watching some broken machines online, but I...

Re: Hello?

I do like the HP 100LX and 200's, but the price tag is a bit hefty (at least for me). I've been looking for a good deal on an HP 95lx because they are cheaper, but the prices only seem to go up (they use to sell for about 25$ a little back ago, if only I had known).
