It was originally developed and maketed by Frankin who then sold the US (which was all the Franklin rights) rights to Xircom which has now been acquired by Intel. I suspect that because of the poor marketing by Franklin and Xircom (almost none except for a short stint at Radio Shack which promoted it), problems with the initial runs of the 6000 and temperature sensitive screens (blue out if it approaches body temperature it will soon fade out of sight. I really enjoy my 5000. The software is a BIG plus. It works with a wide range of apps including Lotus Notes and Organizer and the Palm. I do have a Palm which I carry in a briefcase and use Notes in the office and Organizer at home. The Notes to Palm app os the same price as the 5000 was and with the 5000 I can synch Notes to Organizer without having to go through exports and import routines. A few have bought the 5000 just for the Notes to Palm connectivity since it is the same prices as the Lotus app and more stable. It appears that the software for the 6000 will not expand beyond Outlook which I will not use because of several reasons including virus and lack of features of Organizer. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Michael Hodish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Libretto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Libretto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: rex Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 04:48:21 -0700 Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 07:40:42 -0400 From: "Michael Hodish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: rex About lack of support for Rex. Unfortunately, I don't recall the details, but I am almost certain that a few months ago, I saw Rex's for sale in the far East under a different brandname, so their may be support on some different website. Perhaps we have a reader in the East who knows?
