Other Notes

  • The HP 200LX was used on board the NASA Discovery OV103 Mission STS-95 (the last mission of Senator John Glenn) in an Electronic Nose (E-Nose) experiment (the device was developed jointly by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech)). The experiment, as managed by Dr. Dan Karmon of JPL, was successful.
  • The HP 200LX can play video, and sound files using software from Stefan Peichl in relatively low quality. It is also capable of sound recording, though this is, again, in relatively low quality. There is no known compatible PCMCIA sound card for the HP 200LX.
  • Software and hardware is available which will allow the HP 200LX to surf the Internet.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    “My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.”
    —“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)

    “The soft complaining FLUTE
    In dying Notes discovers
    The Woes of hopeless Lovers,
    Whose Dirge is whisper’d by the warbling LUTE.”
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)
