Z88 Highs & Lows

Got any pet hates about the Z88? Or are you totally besotted! Let me know...

The Highs

• Better "multi-tasking" than Microsoft Windows 3.x
• Fold-out stand (took me months to find it!)
• Quiet keyboard for minimum embarrassment on buses/trains, etc
• Most stable operating system ever designed
• Not PC-compatible
• Plug-and-play eight years before PCs (and it works!)
• Long battery life

The Lows

• Keyboard acts as a dust-magnet
• Keys too squidgy (Don Taylor wants a stiffer ones!)
• Screen & keyboard vulnerable to damage (Solution: get a Topper!)
• Not enough bad points to even up these lists
