HP200LX - a PDA from the past

Digging around in the basement the other day I came across a long forgotten piece of my PDA past. I must have purchased my HP200LX PDA some time around the end of 1994 or early 1995 and I used it diligently for a number of years before switching to a Palm Vx.

Back then the PDA of choice, at least in the office where I worked, was the Psion organizer (what ever happened to Psion anyway?). I was personally taken by the HP200LX as a PDA device because it was a fully functional PC running MS-DOS 5.0, with a comprehensive suite of standard applications including Lotus 123 and Pocket Quicken in additional to the regular contact management, calendar, and notes apps.

I recall spending many hours hunting down other neat little applications and games for HP200LX. Back then the web was still in it's infancy and searching the internet involved browsing through Usenet news group, downloading lists of applications from ftp sites and using Gopher. Eventually the S.U.P.E.R database became the one stop location for all the best apps for the HP200LX and I was really surprised to find it still running today.

Unfortunately I've lost all the extra apps from back then, maybe I go hunting for then once again...
