The Psion Organizer is a hand-held computer, conceived
as an electronic "filofax". Its brief took shape around an
imaginary character called Roger who "likes to be serious,
efficient and organised at work, but in leisure he would
like to be seen with his Sony Walkman . . . How do we
sell to Roger — Roger at work or Roger the swinger? . . . " |
