I miss Psions too. But perhaps it’s also a reflection of how much I loved technology back then and how exciting it all was. I try not to wallow in nostalgia but the 1980s and 1990s felt very different (in a good way!) to what is going on today.
I did some scanning of Psion documents today at Ucreate at Edinburgh university library:

- Palmtop magazine issues 13-16 and issues 31-34.
- A Psion catalogue listing hardware and software for the Series 3.
- A Psion 3fax brochure.

I miss Psions.

There is a review of the Nokia 9210 (although one page is corrupted); I'd forgotten how excited people were then having a pocket computer connected to the internet -with colour!
