REX
===

Got the Xircom REX 6000 today. I  accidentally found it at the eBay for
a fair  rice. The seller  from Germany was so  kind to arrange  fat and
cheap shipping to the Czech Republic and he even put new batteries into
the device (2x CR2016).

I  knew that  it is  small (it  is actually  a PCMCIA  card) but  I was
surprised how small it actually is. It is a bit sluggish but the GUI is
easy to use  and input via its  virtual keyboard is easy  (yes, the REX
6000 has a touchscreen). Any good old Palm if of course better but this
was not designed to compete with the Palms.

I read  somewhere that  there was  a way  to sync  connect it  to Linux
systems and I got a CD with software for the Windows (for W2000 at best
- the device is from 2000).

By the way, is this device compatible with the Mac OS or Mac OS X?

And if I'm not mistaken, it is my first Zilog Z80-compatible computer!
