Re: TM12 woes

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Robin,

It does seem a universal constant that a good proportion of TM12's are just
crap. I use several around my house, and only 1 of them is consistently
reliable (has been working for about a year now without locking up or
needing to be reset once), - but that was only after I tried about 3
different ones.

I have absolutely no idea why this is, they just seem to be vastly variable
in their reliability.. :-(


If you have the luxury of having several of them to try, you may come
across
one which is 99% reliable, but it's an expensive way to find one!!

Sorry that doesn't help your WAF much though...
