Sketching with Psion Series 5

Got this Psion Series 5 in flea market and we decided it to make a test: Sketching!

It's not bad at all! And the result is fantastic for a pre-2000 PDA. Much better than Newton MessagePad 130, not to mention how easy to retrieve the file from Psion to the modern desktop device like MacOS via CF card.
Try retrieve images from Newton to MacOS X, you will end up dealing with obselete serial cable, obselete software & obselete system (read: MacOS 8 or classic).

Some sketches with Sketch software.

And this is our 7 years old daughter's quick sketch :D
