Episode 48 – HP 95LX and Zeos Pocket PC

HP-95LX

This is the podcast where we take an informal look at personal computing history through the lens of eBay auctions. It’s sort of like Antiques Roadshow, but all about antique personal computers. On today’s show, we continue our coverage of the first phase of handhelds, the DOS handheld computers. Specifically, we’re looking at the Hewlett Packard HP 95LX and Zeos Pocket PC, plus perhaps some other related devices.
