I just read your thread in the HTM forum
[Link: remotecentral.com] If you don't mind changing platforms the Prontos have a good history of surviving spills from liquids (one of the Prontos at work had a drink of coffee and if you do a search you will find many Prontos having had other liquids even wine).
I was going to say this in my reply to your thread, but I did not feal like starting an argument in the HTM forum, and I know how much you liked your 1000.
