I found this weird.  My BOSS 7000 is simple and straightforward to use.
Some features are a bit sticky, like having to look up in the manual the
foreign character equvalences, but the calendar, scheduler, phone book
and memo pad are nice to have.  It is very small and light.

The original posting asked about the BOSS vs. the Portfolio, which I
also have.  The Pofo is nice, but a lot bigger and heavier.  I like the
built-in spreadsheet, which is very useful.

Anyway, check the machine and see if it meets your needs.  The flames in
the referenced posting are not a universal opinion.
