HP OGO and the HP200LX

Just about 2 months ago I bought the HP OGO 100 to use it for my
everyday use at my office. Even though it proved quite useful, i felt
that the OGO could have been designed to be more feature-rich. Just last
week I played with the HP 200LX and realized this was the PDC I should
have bought in the first place. With an (almost) full featured MS-DOS
and more powerful built-in applications, I could write programs for the
HP200LX rather than force-feed the OGO with programs that were not
designed for it. So I bought the HP200LX and gave my wife the OGO. Even
though she is "computer challenged", she quickly learned how to use the
GEOS OS and found the appointment and phonebook quite useful. So much
for the $329 I spent for the OGO, one month before the OGO 120 was
introduced, to later pay $389 for the HP200LX 1MB on special (from $499)
at Service Merchandise. At least I made my wife "happy".
