I kept copies of some of the Rex 5 and 5001 material several years ago.

I never bothered with the software for the Rex 6000 ,although an easy to use
scientific calculator could have been useful at times only so not to have to
wait to boot the PC.

I have loaded some text on the REX to read, but found the screen too small
for comfort when travelling, e.g. on the train and it was hopeless when on a
stepper or on training bike in the gym. It is excellent for notes which
remained still useful when the contacts and notes on my mobile phone where
limited to 256 characters.

My phone has now replaced my camera, watch, MP3, radio and pda type needs.
With built in FM radio, MP3 and GPS the only problem is batteries flat in 36
hours. The higher resolution makes reading text and web pages easier.

I still like the format of the Rex and batteries lasting 6 months but it is
no longer worth while carrying it. With the Rex 6000 selling for 30EURO it
is hardly worth selling it. In 5 to 10 years it might be a collectorable :)
