- I tried doing the same thing trying out the demo model over at CompUSA,
- but it felt very clumsy. I've gotten to the point that I can touch-type on
- my 8200, but I really wish Sharp would put dimples on the home keys.
-
- One thing that really bothered me about the 9600 was the apparent lack of
- contrast of the screen compared to what I'm used to on the 8200. Perhaps
- the batteries were low, or I didn't have it adjusted properly.
-
- Roland: can you comment on the screen contrast/usability?
-
- I've also heard that the 9600 has VT-100 emulation.
