If it had been easier to import and export the calendar, I'd have kept using it.

Indeed, for a while I ran my calendar under the 5MX emulator on a PC.

Have all that, can enter/change an event or contact or to-do list on phone, tablet or PC and it's automatically synced to the other devices. And doesn't go anywhere near any 3rd party service and all sync data is encrypted.

Just wish I could get other family members to use an electronic diary, mind you they can't even keep the main "if it ain't in this one, it ain't happening" paper diary properly up to date...

SWMBO won't even consider an electronic diary. Doesn't stop her from asking me what mine says when we're out somewhere, though. Mind you, she doesn't have a smart-phone, either.

Thanks. Searching for 'gemini tablet' brought up lot's of things that weren't it!

I'd certainly *consider* a phone model if it is not too bulky, and the keyboard is OK, and it is not silly money. I like the way that clamshells protect the screen. But in truth I never found the keyboard of the Psion 5 all that good. OTOH the "shorthand" writing on the Palm Pilot touch screens was not too bad, and very quick to learn. And the various PPs were more pocketable than the Psion, and (iirc) the battery life was better. I had a couple of Treo phones too, which had the PP OS.

Hope that helps. A former colleague (from my engineering days) went to work for Psion. Sadly, I didn't keep in touch with him ;-)

Looks great, but all I can see is a page of text with a screenshot. There doesn't seem to be a link or button to download it.

Sorry, that was my fault for linking to a tab. If you trim the URL back a bit you get:

And from there you get:

HTH.

Many thanks. You may be misguided on Brexit, but your heart's in the right place ...

[T i m]

You are more than welcome. ;-)

Hmm, to be misguided I'm guessing you would have to be able to come up with a Leave or Remain choice that I couldn't? But yes, I'm passionate to see that 'right' prevails and for me it's nothing more than what would be considered the best for 'most people' as decided by enough of the people it is supposed to represent. Why for Brexit and not most other local / general elections? Because there was really only one choice (Leave) and we are stuck with it for ever. There was nothing stopping us leaving later on if / as / when it was blatantly obvious to the (real) majority that doing so was the right thing.

Appreciated, it's on my sleeve most of the time. ;-)

Cheers, T i m

The Apple Newton went t*ts up.

I always thought that Psion had the concepts to be a real world beater. From De Havilland onwards, UK techies just never had the entrepreneurial drive of Americans. Apart from Dyson, perhaps.

Bloody hell haven't you even read Article 50?

[T i m]

Why would I. Unlike you, I have a life.

A month later, and it works perfectly, does exactly what it says it should, and I'm delighted.

Everything from reminders once a day to take tablets, to doctor appointments and car insurance/MOT reminders, to monthly meter readings. The repeat function is useful, which can be any pre set period, so it reminds me to put the bin out, and even which bin, fortnightly. Yesterday, Wifey washed our DGs, so I set Kalender to remind us to take them back upstairs, at bed time :-)
