At the time, Dave hypothesized that the affected devices would have a half-life of about 5 years - so 10 years on, you would expect this to have subsided to around 25% of the initially report rate. I wonder if that held true? Mike

There is a fair amount of on-topic traffic of recent vintage on that froup.
