epoc was the most stable OS i ever saw and used..
5mx pro ? hehe, just recently got one with a cracked screen but it works fine except the touch screen. (do you know what was the key combination to activate the builtin taskmanager ?? i once read about it somewhere but i forgot ... without that, it isn't true for me about epoc that you can handle it strictly with the keyboard without a stylus!)
True for epoc. All my psions have **never** crashed, in years of use.
For the task manager: CTRL+J.
You can find a long list of keyboard shortcuts for epoc
here (a reference site for epoc
).
I have a screen for a Series 5 that I don't use anymore because the lcd started to show some
(many!
) dead pixels. Maybe it is possible to remove the touch sensitive surface. Contact me by PM if you are interested.

this is because hpc2000+ can run ppc apps (both the pdf and the nav soft are ppc stuff.. lol). so there's more apps for them than for psions, but only because of this.
This is something I haven't have time to try on my machines, yet. I have browsed the documentation here and it seems like one needs some luck to find the right combination of support dll's.
However, what is NOT clear to me is: when you use a ppc app, does the screen expand to that of an hpc or not? Or does it depend on how the application itself is written?

i know the site
(pscience5, right?
), have been watching it from the start..
it is nicely developing..! mscdex has started doing the same for hpc's, and you know about handheld attitude, don't you.
Yes it is. The nice thing of pscience5 is that the applications are stored
locally, and this avoids broken links, updated pages and so that occur so frequently in handheld attitude. Handheld attitude is also very difficult to navigate, at least if you don't use IE, I don't know, I use firefox on all my machines.
mscdex is doing a fantastic job on this side.
