  14. Hi there!
  15.  
  16. After looking around for an appropriate newsgroup, this seems to be the
  17. one that comes closest...
  18.  
  19. I am currently using a Sharp ZQ-5300M (64Kb) electronic organizer and
  20. am thinking of updating it to a Sharp IQ (-8400?), which is supposed
  21. to be better, bigger (mem, not size) and faster. However, I have the
  22. feeling that it will also be more expensive.
  23.  
  24. Is there anyone who can tell me if s/he uses a Sharp IQ and what
  25. his/her experiences are? Is it worth the money? Do you really use a
  26. lot of the ROM cards? Is the keyboard the same size as the ZQ-5300?
  27. Does it still lack some to-be-expected-features like readability of
  28. appointments on week and day calendar functions?
  29.  
  30. Obviously, I am also looking into some other brands, and can get
  31. plenty of information about those (see footer *grin*), but I can't
  32. seem to find any people using the new Sharp...
  33.  
  34.  
  35. Thanks,
  36.  
  37. Arthur
