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.
 
Ian

        Hi Ian,
         
        That might be tricky, since Alva went belly-up a few months ago.
However, PVS should be able to look after these displays.
         
        George.

                Hi Gary,
                 
                My impression is that whomever you deal with has to send
it back to Alva anyway so you might as well cut out the middle-person
and go straight to them in Holland.
                 
                Cheers now.

                        Hi all,
                         
                        Does anyone know who deals with the servicing of
the Alva Braille display these days?
                        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.
                         
                        Gary
