RE: Re: TX and other Palm Platforms

I also have problems with my T3 digitizer. How can I reach Chris Short? Is there someone in Los Angeles area that change digitizers? Will then my Palm "behave" normal again?

After a couple of years I replaced my digitizer with a glass one. I sent it
to Chris Short who does palm repairs. The glass digitizer is soooo much
better than the plastic ones. I've had no digitizer issues since then which
was in August.
