Friends -

for the record (at least from my experience) the jumpy numbers thing is 
the wheel/encoder, not the OS. I had those replaced on my P2k and E4 - 
however - that was only after several years of heavy use. Not so bad 
really. Mechanical stuff wears out. Get it replaced and you should have 
no problems for a long time.

However - this is the reason that I harp on the playpads-as-numeric-
keypad OS option = an alternative way of entering values if the wheel 
goes down.

peace and goodwill
