Hi Netters,

Although this seems a HP48SX group mainly :), I was wondering if anyone
had some thoughts on the CASIO BOSS 9000 (the one with the large lcd
screen, touch pad keys - and most important: a jack for interfacing
to a computer).

I saw a few postings a while back about using one of these things to
xfer data to/from PC's and Suns.

I'm very interested in xferring to/from a Sun as I use them at work.
However, I have a Mac at home and prefer to do most writing and
maintenance of address lists/ things to-do etc on this.

BUT, I do seem to remember the gist of a posting that seemed to imply
that xfering data from machines other than a PC could be somewhat
non-trivial...

SO, can anyone enlighten me on this issue... I have about 100 pounds to
spare to get the beast (and I'll have to shell out some more
to get the interface too), but am loathe to do this if 9000-Mac xfers
aren't possible (I'll be leaving my sun in a year, but not my mac - that
stays!!).

Thanks in advance,
tony
