I took an exhibition of his work back to London in, Google tells me, 1988. Blimey, time flies! Stuart -- cut that out to reply

I turned off auto-correct within 15 mins of getting the iPhone: all it did was get in my way; completely useless as far as I'm concerned. However, I thought auto-correct was turned off in password fields and number-only fields. Can you not improvise with a toothpick?

No, the touch screen needs to feel the capacitance of the finger to register a touch. Which is why the stylus has a soft tip of conducting foam, and a metal shaft. A wooden object doesn't work. And my fingers are too spatulate (or maybe just fat) to work even remotely accurately. I know you can slide across the screen from below until the right letter shows, but that's too slow and too approximate for real life. And in entering passwords, it's totally hopeless. Before I found the stylus, I improvised with a piece of the conducting foam that's used, spatched onto the pins, to ship chips. And it kind of worked, but it's not stiff enough to be pleasant to use, even when taped to a metal shaft. -- Peter

I've not really been paying attention. If nothing's happening until four-ish, I could probably just take the afternoon off work rather than the whole day, which would help as at the moment my holiday days are running out... -zoara- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

That's right - Friday. > If nothing's happening until four-ish, I could probably just take the > afternoon off work rather than the whole day, which would help as at the > moment my holiday days are running out... My cunning plan is just to slope off work a little early and avoid taking any time off. -- Chris |
