Aha! George, see I've got my finger on the pulse as ever. In that case, does anyone know what ever happened to the mobile phone, PDA thingy they developed and which RNIB appeared to back so heavily? Anyone ever use one or still doing so? And does this news mean they're now discontinued? Cheers now.

However, PVS should be able to look after these displays.

Cheers now.

I have an Alva series 3 which is now nearly 12 years old but still works ok apart from that horrible "wobbly" DC power plug on the back which is causing intermittent operation. Ideally I would like it replaced, the plug that is, with something deccent, so it's more a modification than a straight repair. Grateful for any pointers.
