- The serial number on my machine is above 500000, and the keystrip has become
- faulty after about 3 months of very active use - so it looks as if not even
- the most recent models are free from this problem. Also, the speaker is very
- eratic and so I can't use the tone dialing feature at all. However, I'm such
- a light sleeper that it still manages to wake me up with the occasional short,
- low blip.

- I find my machine indespensible, and I'm very reluctant to send it back to
- PSION and resort to paper for 3 weeks as I know other people have been.
- Maybe I'll do it when I go on holiday or something.
