It's OK Helen, it was said partly in jest, to point out that half the country appear to be awash in them whilst the other half is panicking :). I currently have 2 clients who find this is the only switch that they can manage and I only have 1 spare left as contingency :( Cheers Jeremy Jeremy Linskell CEng, CSci, MIPEM Principal Clinical Scientist Electronic Assistive Technology Service Ninewells Hospital NHS Tayside tel: 01382-496286 fax:01382-496322 Editorial Board Member of Journal of Assistive Technologies http://pierprofessional.metapress.com/content/121393 ________________________________ From: A discussion list for Assistive Technology professionals.

I reckon there's a lifetimes supply in circulation out there. We should have an amnesty and then stock-pile them.

I'm disappointed that they are no longer available as I found them useful for patient's with MND and disappointed that I had no word from supplier nor contractor on lack of availability. Does anyone else use something equivalent? Micro Light switches don't have the dimples and are thicker in design for instance.
