I just received my number from the US Patent Office for my Vehicle Mount. Anybody using these machines for navigation this

is a handy addition. There is one user using the Vehicle Mount in his airplane! Check it out at www.johnstolk.com/Psion/VM

Answer to: Will Green

Re.: Palmtop User - I for one will not be renewing my subscription to this magazine. It has very very little Symbian value, even for the newer Symbian platforms, and the rest I find uninteresting.

Answer to: Jim Watson-Gove

Re.: Epoc Wince or Palm??? - Why not advise him to try and buy a 2nd hand Psion on eBay or somewhere else ? Even though not being produced anymore, they are still good machines, specially if needed for a limited period like a trip.

To All

Re. CoDriver - I got it to work with Routeplanner but it does not work with Streetplanner giving an error message "Cannot find Graphini". Has anyone any idea why this happens, and what a solution could be ?

I see frequent references to the importance of this precaution in

messages on this list -- but haven't a clue as to how to copy my OS to a

CF drive. Should it be a CF specially set aside for this purpose? (At

the moment, I've only purchased one 256k card.)

Hello Psioneers

I am touch typing this on my MC218, whilst I listen to a boring debate in the Provincial Legislature. It took me about a week to get used to the small keyboard, and the placing of some of the keys, but I find I can type fairly fast on my psion. I would not use one if I could not do it. When my 5mx, US version had a screen cable failure, I started using the MC218 and had to get used to the different placement of the keys. But it is definitely easy to

touch type on.
