I have not been happy with the PW1.

The little magnet I used looks a bit funny, but it should stay in place with clear mailing tape.
Thanks again!
If you haven't noticed yet:
'~ds' **does not** stand for: 'Disable Screensaver' -
it stands for: 'Disable Sleep'

Although the first might have been the intent, it is the second which is happening on the PW1.
The only way to put a PW1 to sleep with '~ds' in effect is a 'long press' on the power switch (until the light blinks twice).

So keep your PW1 connected to external power.
