I find tapping on a PDA very hard during bumpy flights and maybe the banjo
pick will work better than just a finger or stylus. Good idea.

Good southern banjo player joke, but how do we know the toothbrush was
invented in the south?

Anywhere else it would have been called a teethbrush.

Sometimes, I find tapping on the screen of a PDA in
the cockpit a bit of a nuisance. I wish the thing
had 'voice control.'

My finger, not really all that big or fat, sometimes,
doesn't find the 'buttons' just right. Getting the
stylus out is possible, but I was wondering if there
could be a different way.

How about a banjo pick? I've rounded up one from a
coworker. Here on the ground, it works just fine.
Just slip it over my index finger and, voila, an instant
long fingernail. Easily controlled, even more so than
the stylus.

One thing, though. I might want to tape it on my finger
just so it doens't fall off and get lost in the cockpit
or under the seat pan or where ever.

Anyone tried the finger pick?

Oh, and by the way. How can you tell if the floor
a banjo picker is sitting on is level?

Drool runs out evenly from both sides of his mouth...

Probably sounds better than a banjo too

How about a press on nail....can be clear, very little mess and removed
quickly. Just a thought.
