I'm very proud to own one of these!
Back in 1986, this was actually one of the first sensitive screen organizer ever! Actually, i've read lots of pages on the internet (and i don't find any of them now, too!) about this machine actually being the first one to hit the market.
One of the coolest features of the device is that graphic and text data use two separate layers that display simultaneously, mixed on the screen. I miss this function on the majority of later PDAs, actually...
When i got it, i immediatly started to think it could become my everyday PDA, it's slim, light, it offers what it takes, but i soon realized that there was NO built-in clock AT ALL!!
I just can't figure out why Casio didn't include such a useful feature in this machine...
The interface is also a bit tricky (although i'm pretty sure one can get used to it when used regularly) and comes from the first Digital Databank era : several keys will change several modes related to several user settings : data in/out mode, line thickness when drawing...
