New, well, new to me, shiny
Jul. 15th, 2011 07:18 pmI was gifted with a replacement Psion 5mx by one of my writer friends who is no longer using hers. It gave me a bad moment by not turning on when I put rechargeables in, but as soon as I fed it some nice fresh alkalines it happily booted. I am happy to report that the keyboard is in much better nick than the two I already own, and I tested this by typing a couple of hundred words on the bus this morning. It's slow but usable, whereas the previous incumbent was getting too erratic on a couple of letters to be worth the bother of correcting bus-induced typos. I'm disinclined to use it at work itself, because I really should take a break from keyboards in the middle of the day, but it makes it ever so much easier to jot down a hundred words of notes on the bus.
