PDA's Interface

Someone actually sells PDA styluses that fit this description. Squeezes
on your finger tip with a little blunt pointy thing to poke the PDA
with. Google turned up http://www.man-machine.com/finger_stylus.htm

Thought it was a bit geeky for the office but here....

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.

The left side of my left thumbnail is left long. My fingers rest against
the left side of the PDA to steady my hand in bumps and I tap with the long
part of my thumbnail.
Why buy a prosthetic thumbnail when you're perfectly capable of growing one?
I haven't yet dropped it while in flight yet either.

At $9.99 + shipping/handling the finger stylus better be FAA certified and
say "For aviation use only". Otherwise, I'll go get guitar/banjo
fingerpicks for $0.25.
