======================



What I was using when I finished college in 2009 and keep on my desk.



The TI-89 Titanium:

CPU = 12 MHz MC6800

Memory = 256K RAM (188K available to user), 4M Flash ROM (2.6M available to 
user)

Screen Size = 160x100 pixels.



It fits in a back pocket (sort of) and runs for months on a set of 4 AAA 
batteries.  It can do word processing, spreadsheets and very advanced 
mathematics.  And this is OLD technology.



I have to give a rueful reflection too, on the piles of CoCo stuff that I 
need sort out and sell soon, just to make some room to set one or two up.
