The fact that they had a handheld with peer-peer communication AND an “app -store” concept that long ago was amazing. The fact that they managed to fade into obscurity with such a killer product was more amazing still. They just didn’t get what they had, and they were kind of obtuse when folks would try to make intelligent suggestions.

I have about six or so Cybiko classics, if anyone wants to have at it. I’ll need to see if I can dig up the old SDK. They had a hacked GNU C compiler that generated interpreted P-code. It was actually pretty good …
