A bit of personal history here.  I used to know Al Vanderburgh, one of
the co-founders of Teklogix, through amateur radio.  I was in his shop
on a couple of occasions, working on an amateur radio repeater for a
Toronto amateur radio club, where we were both members.  This was, of
course, long before Psion bought the company.
