Kroc Camen@atomicpoet Slides into the seat next to you and opens my Psion 5mx with its award-winning smooth hinge mechanism. Its 48MHz ARM chip is both powerful and power efficient, the whole device can run for 20 hours on just two AA batteries. The keyboard is full-travel and despite its size, it provides the best typing experience for a palmtop computer, bar none. The screen is a stunningly high density 640x240 pixels with 16 shades of grey and an electroluminescent backlight sandwiched along with the touchscreen. I press the side of the device and the stylus cooly springs out from its integrated spring-lock storage. This is a portable writing and calendaring battlestation and it has never been beaten in 25 years.

Jan Beta@MuseumJoe Oh that stinks.. My basement is partially finished. So the areas I could get to, I sealed (probably was around 80%). I guess it was enough since it seems to be working for me. Of course that was after breathing radon for probably a decade not knowing it was down there. And my home office is down there as well.. And I worked from home 80% of the time since Covid .... Yikes..
@MuseumJoe hmm. Same as me. I did go around the edges of the basement floor everywhere where the slab meets the foundation and sealed it with special caulk. I did the same with any cracks in the slab.
A month ago or so the exhaust pipe for the fan clogged with snow and ice and my radon detectors alerted me to it. I cleared the clog and it dropped back to normal in 6-8 hours or so.

@MuseumJoe what kind of removal system did you put in? We had a below slab system put in and it dropped significantly from 10pCi/l to around .5-2 pCi/l.
