      Boot splash: Psion blockletter logo, "LX", "BETA" beneath.

      The Today screen. Vertical amber tabs at right: TODAY, PROGRAMS,
      TASKS. Bottom bar: Desk, Docs, Email, Web, Word, Sheet, Calendar,
      Contacts, with eject, volume, battery and clock at bottom right.
      Large pale Psion watermark down the left. Reads:
        "Saturday 07 February 2004"
        "WiFi card not present" / "Not connected to the Internet"
        "Inbox not available" / "Outbox not available"
        "No appointments" / "To-do list is empty"
        [ ] Show this screen at startup

This UI matches the independent Pulster.com photograph of a netBook Pro
prototype running Psion Linux, confirming both show the same OS.

RETRIEVAL NOTE: imgur.com geo-blocks (returns "Content not available in
your region"), so neither the album page nor i.imgur.com direct links
resolve from the UK. Fetched instead through the rimgo privacy frontend
at rimgo.privacyredirect.com, which proxies the media. Album carried
imgur media ids OCkX37Z and fjx6d84.


================================================================================
NOT PHOTOGRAPHS -- these two are screenshots of OUR reconstruction
================================================================================

Everything above is a photograph of Psion's own machine. The two files below
are not: they are screen captures taken from the rebuilt CF image running on
Joshua's netBook Pro on 2026-09-28, over ssh with xwd, and converted from the
16-bit XWD capture to PNG. They are here for comparison against the
photographs, and must not be cited as evidence of what Psion shipped.

      The PROGRAMS screen as our build renders it, laid out correctly.
      Four groups as Psion's photograph has them -- OFFICE, INTERNET, PIM,
      OTHER -- but carrying more applications than the photograph does; the
      extra ones are deliberate, and the cut-down archival image
      (psionlx-cf-1gb-asphotographed.img) is the one that matches the
      photograph's 21.

      Visible and correct here: the dock reading Desk, Docs, Email, Web,
      Word, Sheet, Calendar, Contacts, Other; Firefox shown as "Web" with
      the globe; balsa shown as "Email"; the amber TODAY / PROGRAMS / TASKS
      strip down the right; the Psion watermark down the left.

  reconstruction-programs-screen-overflow-bug.png   800x600
      The same screen in the intermittent failure state, kept because it is
      the evidence for the diagnosis. Every row is 8px taller, 56px
      cumulative, which pushes the last row of OTHER under the panel. See
      docs/05-WORK-LOG.md; the cause was never proven and gpe-appmgr now
      re-lays-out once when it detects the overflow.


gpe-gallery-netbook-browser-640.png  (added 2026-09-29)
    640x480, from gpe.linuxtogo.org/gallery/albums/Applications/netbook.sized.png
    via the Wayback Machine. Dated April 2005 by its own page content. Shows
    gpe-mini-browser over the full dock: Desk, Docs, Email, Web, Word, Sheet,
    Calendar, Contacts, Other, with a text clock and signal-strength bars.

    IT IS NOT A PsionLX REFERENCE. Do not "correct" the build toward it.
    Its Desk button carries GPE's own blue paw logo; the photograph and this
    build both use Psion's grey desk icon. Its tray shows a text clock and
    wireless bars where the photograph has an analogue clock and none, and its
    dock ground is pale green against the photograph's blue. This is generic
    GPE on a netBook, from before or outside Psion's branding work.

    What it IS good for: the first native-resolution capture of this dock we
    have -- real pixels rather than a camera pointed at a screen -- so it is a
    sound reference for button geometry, label placement and the shared icons
    (Docs, Email, Word, Sheet, Calendar all match the photograph).

    It also settles the "Other" button: gpe-buttonbox-0.5 only shows that slot
    when a RUNNING window matches no preset (gpe-buttonbox.c:657,
    other_classes != NULL). It is a task slot, not a launcher. This build does
    the same -- the slot reads "Totem" or "Book1.xls :" when those run, and is
    absent on a bare desktop. Nothing is missing.
