Canon DM-2400CR. Electronic Notebook. Dreams of the nineties
Huge touch screens, powerful processors, hundreds of megabytes of RAM, now such devices surround us. But before that, cool other things were considered cool gadgets. One of which I unearthed at home. So, get acquainted:
Canon DM-2400CR. Electronic Notebook.
I got it back in 2001, as a gift from my aunt. Unfortunately I couldn’t find information by year of manufacture, but when replacing the batteries, the date was reset to 1996, which can be considered the year of birth of the device.

So, what can we oppose to modern monsters?
Display: 2 lines of 18 characters each 5 × 7 dots:
The top line displays both letters and numbers, the bottom only numbers.
QWERTY keyboard, flip cover:
2 kb of memory!
Different modes of operation:
1. Diary. Here you can take notes indicating the time at which the audible reminder will be heard. The sound is quite quiet, of course, there are no vibro-functions, so there is a high probability that the signal will be skipped outside. Although, I manage to skip calls with vibro. But in general, in my opinion, a useful feature. Records can be kept in Latin or Cyrillic. Switches the layout of a separate button P / A.
2. Phone / Notepad - in principle one and the same. The top line is written text in the bottom numbers. The separation is done in order to separate the entries with phone numbers from other entries. One entry is limited to 36 characters in the top line and 36 digits in the bottom.
3. Time / World time. Allows you to switch between local time and world time. There are 30 cities, everyone will find their liking. Local time mode is indicated by * in front of the city name. Summer time is also available (indicated by # before the day of the week) and an alarm clock. The time can be displayed in both24-hour and 12-hour format.
4. Calculator. An ordinary calculator. With the ability to use a memory cell.
The most interesting thing in my opinion is the ability to record confidential information with a password. At one time, it was very pleasant to realize that your notes are reliably protected, and no one will read them, even if they take this book from you.
Records made in normal mode are not visible in password mode.

To get to them you need to unscrew very small and inconvenient screws.
