Russell PhillipsI believe there are some Psion fans here, so I should mention that I've listed a Series 3, a Series 3a, and a Series 3a programming manual on Ebay.
Matt LewisI've just released v0.3.9 of my WIP agenda/calendar application "Pygenda". It's based on #Psion #PDA Agenda apps and designed to run on keyboard #LinuxMobile devices like Planet Computers' #GeminiPDA & #CosmoCommunicator. Written in Python/GTK, it also works on Linux desktop & possibly other desktops too.
Docs/source here: https://codeberg.org/semiprime/pygenda
Lots of changes since the last release, but mostly subtle things. Testing/feedback welcome.

Kroc CamenUse old platforms. Write code for old platforms. Do things with old platforms so commercially unviable that the tech bros and AI slop can't come at you.
And here’s that exact same code running on the device. It’s nothing to look at, it is a minimal viable text-editor so far, but the fact that it _can_ be changed is what matters. There hasn’t been an open-source plain text editor for this platform, ever.

I'm probably only 1 of maybe 3 people in the world writing software for this platform at the moment
HeliopolitanSo this is what I was at last night - fixing Psion Series 7 & Netbook computers. Look at my nice surgical soldering field - repairing a blown Series 7 motherboard - nice job! My cheap spares-repairs ebay purchase had a netbook personality module, so I upgraded my workhorse machine. These old beauties bring so much joy :-) #retrocomputing #permacomputing #psion #righttoRepair
Alexander ShendiHey #commodore, why not bring back a retro, social-medialess device that people _actually_ want? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Series_5

Interesting chapter on #1990s #PDA maker #Psion & early #Smartphone devices using their OSes #EPOC & #Symbian , like the #Nokia 9210 & #SonyEricsson P800
Busy surgical list last night - several Psion 3a/3c units needing some attention from Dr JB Weld. (That screen on the one on the right is irretrievable, I fear). #Psion #Handheld #retrocomputing #permacomputing #righttoRepair
