"Digigram" is my definition of "dodgy". I've given up on them.

I don't think that there's been a computer device made that someone
won't say that about if a user reports trouble. I've found nothing
"dodgy" about my Digigram VX Pocket . . well not until today.

Some people wipe the boot drive and start fresh once a
year. It is like the computer version of "spring cleaning".
It's not difficult to install a fresh copy of XP. What is
difficult is preserving whatever data, settings, apps when
you do it.

This is why I don't do that. The only thing that I have to install
from is the "restoration CD" that came with the computer, so the first
step after doing that installation would be to clean off all the junk
(a six year old version of AOL, for instance), then do all the Windows
updates, and install all the applications. No thanks. If the computer
ever gets that far out of kilter, it'll be time to forget about ever
putting it back like it was.
