Hello,

I just quickly looked into the December 2005 original Psion files. There 
is no particular psion ID associated with the particular setup id. For 
example, on December 8th P4 has the Aug 04 setup but on Decemer 9th P4 
has the Jul 03 setup. So, we know that it is no an artifact of the data 
getting into Babase. It has something to do with the machines. Shall I 
send an email to Amboseli?
