Conclusion

The 95LX offered me instant access to the minor details of my practice. In six months' time I was using the connectivity pack to access files in the office network, and using FILER (an incredible program) to consolidate and organize projects.

As time goes on, I'm sure I'll begin to experiment with LOTUS (which must be the big advantage of the 95LX, just look at the space devoted to it in the HP 95LX User's Guide). I'll learn more about COMM, HP CALC (but maybe never Reverse Polish Notation).

One main attraction of the 95LX is that it is constantly inviting you to put more of your mainframe or desktop computer in your coat pocket. So far, I have not been disappointed in the 95LX and its abilities. My guess is that my satisfaction will continue to grow.

By the way, when I spoke with HP Technical Support, they said HP makes many thousands of 95LX units a month. That is quite a success story in this day of wondering how America can find a way to compete on a global scale.
