My poor Psion is very sick, and has been getting progressively worse the last few weeks.

There's a nasty crack down the middle of the screen, which I suspect is the cause of some of the other problems. My own fault for being too rough with it. At first it didn't seem to affect it much, but the touch screen has gradually got less and less responsive, and the row of icons belos the screen barely work now, making it very tricky to switch applications.

It's also started showing horizontal lines across the screen, which usually means a problem with the flexi cable between the screen and the keyboard. If I open it very gently, it will usually be okay, but flexi cable problems usually get worse as the damage to the cable spreads.

At the moment, it's just about usable, but I expect that it might not stay that way for long. Fortunately you can pick them up cheap on eBay. I'm a bit broke at the moment, so I really ought to wait until I'm a bit more cash flush. Fortunately, my Dad hardly uses the one I got for him last year, so I'm sure he won't mind lending it to me for a while.

If there was something more modern that does everything a Psion does and has a decent built in keyboard, I would happily buy one. However, I've yet to Psions are available on eBay, that's what I'll be using.
