Raymond, you wrote:

Actually I'd have to disagree ... just because we've used pens for so long doesn't 
mean its necessarily the right way of using your muscles (notice all those pens out 
there that are designed to help muscle cramps for instance). Besides which using a 
Windows PC requires at least 4 input signals, (pointer move, pointer drag, pointer 
action, pointer secondary action), at least 3 for a Mac and at least 5 for an X 
interface. A pen by itself can really only provide one (hence why the Palmax has 
buttons on the rear left of the panel and other tablet-pen type devices have buttons 
on the pen itself, a situation that isn't really terrifically ergonomic as the 
forefinger is the only one that can really press buttons in a pen situation and that 
affects accuracy). 

Raymond,

my Jornada uses a stylus with no other signals than the pressing point on the 
touchscreen, and I do not need buttons. I am not experienced with the technics, but 
why do one need the buttons of the Palmax, when one can press simply the pen on the 
screen like I do with my Jornada?
