(2)TRS 80- Only issue is that these aren't cheap but are otherwise acceptable
(3)Tandy PC 7- While there are some big disadvantages, I could still use it for some basic scripting and get by with the small tasks I'm doing.

For the HP-95LX, you should spend some time on the Palmtop Paper site:

Also, look at the HP-95LX programming section of the HP200LX.Net. Be sure to download the "HP95LX Developer's kit":

All of the TRS-80 pocket computers are great little handheld's that run a very good basic. Likewise there are a series of Sharp handheld computers that are very powerful. Several of the Sharp units have a Z-80 processor that will allow you do Z-80 Assembly as well as Basic. Likewise, several have the 'C' language built-in.

To get a good feel for all the handheld computers that have been made, spend some time in the Museum site of:

The main thing is to have lots of fun with whatever you choose.
