[QUOTE="ezrider, post: 56956"] Dawg I've also experienced the same sequence of events as Gman previously described. I'm not about to write #4 off as a failure by any means, but it does make what were once simple tasks terribly frustrating at all too often critical times. The alpha key on mine got stuck yesterday and that renders it as useful as a freshly painted p-1000 with new tires yet no engine under the hood. A 6 second per-pkg time slash was a bitter pill to swallow by itself. Add #4 and it's tempermental keypad to that and it's starting to look like another slap in the face from the powers that be. My hands and fingers are pretty big so #3 was an ideal setup for me personally, so that might make the transition to #4 seem bumpy. The only way I could describe it would be like trying to type one of these posts on a keyboard that was half the size with less keys and laid out differently and then being told that there was no room for grammatical errors in addition to having to do it in less time. #3 was such a smooth change since it closely resembled #2, where #4 is completely different and thus the learning curve is likewise. It may yet prove to be an upgrade in time. The true test comes during the cold of late December thru February. I could work the keys on #3 near flawlessly while wearing gloves. Not having to expose the fingers to the brutal Great Lakes winters was a blessing. Looking at these tiny, sometimes unresponsive keys on #4, I'm somewhat skeptical. I'd be curious to know how it tested in the winter climate, or better yet was it even tested in extended sub-zero temperatures.
