It's #retrocomputing time, and this time, I'm going to post one of my own retrocomputers.

Say hello to my #HP 200LX, one of my favorite #handheld #computers.

A basic rundown of the specs:

* 7.91 MHz Intel 80186
* CGA-compatible graphics
* 1-4 MiB RAM, 640k conventional, the remainder is a RAM disk (mine has 2 MiB)

@marsxyz It's actually amazing how responsive it is, period - and then you consider that the hardware was literally cloning decade-old desktop PCs, yet still able to run plenty of DOS productivity software that people were running on their 386s, 486s, and Pentiums in 1994.
