The Communications for Compumate app in the Microsoft Store lets you download data from the different built-in apps. It can read in data from the telephone directory, the personal files, the appointments, and the word processor.

This is very much a version-1 program. The end result is that the data is displayed to you in the app; you have to save it into files or convert the telephone directory entries into real contacts yourself. And it doesn’t support modifying the data, or uploading data. It also doesn’t support the BASIC program (the BASIC language came on a separate cartridge which I don’t have) or the Expense Report data (which is more complicated).

The Compumate (otherwise known as the Laser pc3 from Vtech) is a late-1980’s notebook style personal computer. It’s bigger than a PDA, but has the same kinds of functionality. There are a set of built-in apps, and data is stored in “static RAM” for as long as the batteries last.
