The Netbook That Started It All

Yes, I know about the Psion. It's a neat little piece of technology. Thanks for this important bit of computer history. Anyone can google "psion netbook" or search on wikipedia to verify your claim.

Sorry, but the OLPC laptap was not the original netbook by nearly a decade. The netbook formfactor was created by Psion in the 90's. They also originated and own the NAME Netbook and contest the recent takeover attempt of the name. They were (and still are) wonderful devices ahead of their time with a nice little operating system (EPOC32) that was later bought by the smartphone companies and became Symbian. (The netBook Pro ran on Win CE.) Mine can still run for 8 hours on a charge.
