- Yes. It seems to be on good authority (including when I talked to the
- Psion tech service) that it is the connecting flat cable. Badly cured,
- according to someone (name misplaced -- sorry).
- Your problem doesn't dound quite the same, though. Each time it's happened
- to me, some or all of the buttons have died suddenly and permanently.

- Hope it doesn't come to that... Don't want a Flash RAM as my default
- in any case: it'd fill up too fast. Eventually I'll get one as backup,
- of course.

- What's interesting is that -- despite the torrent of complaints -- not
- one person has given up on the Psion! It's just too nice a little beast...
-
- Oh -- I see [late addition] that Bernd agrees with me...(:-)):
