![]() Above all it has a proper keyboard, something I have always found essential for data entry. It can be easily customised to the user’s requirements by installing various applications. I personally have used it to store contact details, keep notes, as a training tool, to browse the web, for E-mail and ICQ messages, and to write reports and catalogue information. Of course it has its limits, but for someone who is familiar with the Unix/Linux console tools it is surprising what can be achieved. This allows the organiser to become a miniature, multi user, multitasking, network enabled UNIX machine, which can be used for many applications. Although development of the Psion and EPOC has ceased, it’s use can however be regenerated by the installation of the Linux OS. Using its own proprietary EPOC operating system, it provides a basic organiser for most every day needs. The Psion 5mx, although now over-shadowed by the new generation of PDA, is still a very capable machine. Kludged Linux A linux distribution for the Psion 5mx Based on the Debian Linux 4.0 arm port.
