Re: Psion Wavefinder

[David Sussman <davids@xxxxxxx>]

I never got reliability on XP either, but did achieve it on W2k.
However,
this was only after I replaced the cheap PSU with a decent switched
mode
one. Before that I got service for a few minutes and then it died, with
all
indications pointing towards reception. A new PSU and everything was
fine.

Oh, and I found the non-Psion software far better.
