I have a Psion and after reading this I am very tempted to get the flame
thrower out. What do you mean none of the above come close to being
computers? My Psion has a programming language, a file system, a range
of peripherals(sp?) and even a version of tetris. What more can a computer
have? Unfortunatly there isn't even one corner when Psion users can freely
disscuss their handhelds. But don't feel that you are being asked to stop
your disscussions, just move them to a more appropriate (new) group.

I will be voting for the split..
