General Comments

I have had a 3C, a Series 5 and 2 5MX's. My Series 5 just packed in, one day, when used by my wife, to whom I had given it when I got my 5MX. My first Psion 5MX literally fell apart when the flimsy, plastic components of the lid mechanism failed. Whilst the second 5MX had a new screen, whilst just in warranty, the unit has now just packed in totally, just like the series 5 did; it is only 18 months old, but of course, now it's out of warranty, Psion's hefty standard repair charges apply. Whilst I have been a devotee for many years, I think, sadly, that I just may move over to a different manufacturer. Of course, I can't access much of my data, which is carefully backed up and on a flash card, as one needs another Psion to do that. What is concerning me is what will I do when there are no more Psions available????
