I have an interest in other Psion computers, namely, for me, the Workabout MX.  This uses SIBO OPL, which was introduced when the Series 3 came out.  The HC uses this type of OPL as well.

We have flurries of activity on here, but it isn't constant.  How would people feel about forum members including posts on these machines?

HC
Series 3
Series 3a
Series 3c
Series 3mx
Series 5
Series 5mx
Series 7
Workabout
Workabout MX

The 3c and 3mx mostly work the same as far as commands and functions - there are more of them and the integers go higher as they are 32-bit OSes and there is a fair bit of information on EPOC and OVAL too in addition to the Organiser I & II.

I'm not saying that I have a load of stuff to post, but I do have a little and a lot of other people will have also gone out and bought a later machine after the Organiser II became, "End Of Life".

Teklogix (or http://community.psion.com/ anyway) have closed down, which I suppose is Zebra simply responding to market forces.  The point is that it leaves people who still have an interest in Psion computers with fewer resources than before.

I have no objection to posts about other Psion handhelds (or even their laptops), though I have no experience with any of them. Last year I got a Psion 3mx in a job lot, but I haven't used it at all. The strange characters in the forum are because the editor you are using is inserting "smart quotes", i.e. changing a normal ascii quote character into opening and closing quotes, and similarly changing a basic normal apostrophe into a more styled apostrophe character. These characters are not in the normal ascii range, but only available in unicode character sets. These are converted into text form (i.e. as html entities containing that unicode character number) in order to be able to store the message. Unfortunately, when the message is then displayed, the forum software does not recognize these special codes and converts them to straight text instead of leaving them alone for the browser to render them normally.
