Psion 5mx, the pda of the 90s. It’s very useful, perhaps even today. Has a usable keyboard. Runs a full month on a pair of AA batteries! The 90s hi-res 4 gray shades LCDs aren’t the most legible. Backlight helps a bit. Did you have one? Like it or exchange it to something else of the same period?

I'm using my Ericsson MC218 (clone of Psion 5mx) every day! Love it 🥰

I extensively used a Psion 5 back in the 90s, but it died by accident at the Paris airport when my bag dropped 😔. I got a replacement, but that one died a few years later when a friend broke the hinge by snap-closing it 🤬. I got 2 5mx’s from an auction. The 5mx’s are really nice.

I had a 3a, amazing industrial design. Always wanted a Series 5.
