I bought this from a pawn shop which I stopped at on my way to paying rent. Out of the two handhelds I own, this is my favourite - probably because it reminds me of early Macs. Unlike a lot of future models, this one runs off alkaline batteries which is its weakness. The batteries last about a fornight or so, depending on how heavy the usage is.
