I'm looking for original, old issues of Handheld PC magazine (what Pocket PC magazine used to be called). In particular, I'm looking for Vol. 1, issues 1, 2, 3 and 4 and Vol. 2, issues 1 and 3. If you have them, and no longer use them, I'd appreciate getting them as my interests mostly lie in older, monochrome Windows CE machines.

Thanks,
Rick

Ever heard of the Xircom Rex 6000, last of the smallest true CE PDA ever made?
I have one, complete with box, doc., cradle, hard case. It is built in a PCMCIA card. It has a PIM, 2MB RAM and you can remove and install software. Mine was not much used until recently when I decided to get it out and set it up as a solitaire card gamer for my wife. It has the most responsive touch screen I have ever used.

Is it true that it is the size of a credit card? I think those things still go for around $170

I just did a Google search on the 6000 and it looks pretty neat. However, for me it might be a bit too small, I need a keyboard and I prefer my old MobilePro 700, Casio A20 or HP 360LX.
These days I usually use a MobilePro 780, but I still love the old monochrome H/PCs and up until about 2 months ago that's what I usually used.

I just checked eBay and it looks like they're going for a lot less than $170.

I was not talking about ebay price. I was talking about top price. Besides I don't think he wanted to sale it.

Sorry Chris It won't let me edit my post.
The one I was talking about had everything you could imagine included with it. As far as I can tell the ebay ones don't have those items that he was talking about in his reply.

The Rex 6000 is not a CE device.
