I have briefly had a play with Eureka and I found it to be excellent! It seems
to support all of the functions that Pipedream has plus a great deal more. (I
have not used Pipedream extensively so I don't guarantee that I'm 100% 
correct). The user interface seems very good indeed, although there is a 
slight gripe in that they have used their own windowing system so nice things
like 3d icons won't work. The reason they have done this is to implement a 
'split window' effect allowing 4 seperate parts of the spreadsheet to be 
viewed in the same window. I found it easier to use than Pipedream from a 
first time user's point of view. The graphing facilities do seem more limited 
than those in Pipedream 4. Anyway, my first impressions were very positive.

I beleive that the ARM3 in the A5000 is surface mounted. You can surface mount
a socket in place of the chip. Try Beebug Ltd. in St. Albans, they should be
able to fit a socket for you. I don't know about the warranty though.
