Did YOU have a PDA?

For 20 years the Personal Digital Assistant was THE management gizmo, until the smartphone came along and ate its lunch!

So let's look back at the early days of the pocket office revolution. Bring your stylus...

Pocket tech took a big step forward in the 1970s via the humble calculator, and one model in particular: the 1974 Hewlett Packard HP-65. It was the world's first programmable handheld calculator thanks to a magnetic card reader that let you load and save programmes.

Six years later the revolution took another step forward with the Sharp PC-1211. This was a 'pocket computer' with a QUERTY keyboard and 24 character LCD that supported BASIC programming. Tandy rebadged the 1211 as the TRS-80 PC1 for the American market.

Many readers* have asked me when I'm going to cover classic Argentinian progressive rock magazines of the 1970s.

Well GOOD NEWS! That day has come as I look back at Pelo magazine! Step this way...

(*OK, none as yet)

Pelo - Spanish for Hair - grew out of the burgeoning Argentinian rock scene of the late 1960s, where bands such as Manal, Almendra and Los Gatos were kickstarting the Spanish-language rock movement.

PINAP was a pop music magazine launched in Buenos Aires in 1968. Daniel Ripoll, part of its editorial board, was asked by them to set up one of Argentina's first big open air music festival - 1969's Festival PINAP.
