Why do I need a finger stylus?

I definitely want to complete the "geek" factor toolkit. Having my "Ax" on my belt with my cool silver case just isn't enough. Imagine being able to slide it off, flip the case open and start stroking it with my new finger styli.......Cool!

can`t afford to actually buy anything...

but i have to admit it`s something anyone could have figured out but didn`t design

with that in mind, i`m going old school and heading out to the backyard. if axim users would like a personalized hand crafted stylus you can find me by the birch tree & my pocket knife. time to do some whittling [oops, i mean r&d].

With a finger stylus, I can drive my Axim and scratch my head or ear. This is much safer than using a real stylus which being larger than your elbow should never be put in your ear (as I am sure your mother told you). Of course your finger with a finger stylus on it is larger than your elbow, but what Mom doesn't know can't hurt you.

I would love to have a finger stylus. They're so cool! I really hate to pull out the stylus on my ppc, especially when typing. Plus, now i'll have another reason to feel so much cooler than all my friends!

I'm a psychiatrist, and it seems most of what I do needs me to write with my pen or tap with my stylus. Sometimes I mix up the functions of the two implements. Thank the Higher Power for screen protectors.

A patient of mine on our inpatient unit thinks my Axim allows me to control my vast army of thought-extracting secret agents so I can "get inside [his] business". (I told them not to admit Oliver Stone...).

Anyway, a pen stylus would allow my god-complex having, world-domination wanting, information-technology manipulating little self to complete my schemes that much more easily. Or, it could just make it a lot easier to dispense major tranquilizers.

There was a man from boizeee,
He had one stylus, not three.
One day as he scribed,
a twich of a sort came by,
and flung his only stylus goodby.

The great Aximsite had a contest,
and the fellow from Boizee did not protest.
Instead did he enter,
hoping his rhyme would bring center,
a new fingertip stylus to try!

My name is John Styli. My wife Genie and I have been trying to have our first baby styli for quite some time. Unfortunately we have been unsuccessful. We were almost blessed last year but for some reason the Great Axim above decided we were not ready. It was very hard for us to overcome not having a little finger styli poking and prodding around like we've been dreaming about for so long. I read your post on this wonderful website and decided this is our chance. Our chance to have our dreams come true....To have our own baby styli. He or she would complete our lives. I ask you Mr. Aximsite.Com, please fulfill our one and only wish. Please allow us to have our own little finger styli. It would mean so much to us.

Sincerley,
John Styli

Ok, I think I deserve this is that I'm not allowed to look like I have things in my pockets here at the the Air Force Academy, and therefore a small stylus is best for me otherwise I will be mercillessly yeled up by upperclassmen until I break, and decide to quit because I can't handle it, and you will be single handedly responsible for getting me kicked out of the air force academy, OK so maybe thats a little bit of an exxageration, but you still don't want me getting yelled at

I use my Axim to control my telescope via Bisque The Sky Pocket edition. Since it is naturally very dark in my observatory, I tend to loose the Stylus from my hand while handling the Axim and the telescope at the same time and always have a hard time finding it without switching on the lights (which in turn would spoil my night vision). So I could really use a finger stylus ;-)

As I struggled to become free of the ropes, it soon became obvious that I was never going to make it in time. The clock counted down. A feeling of anguish descended upon me; the entire world really was on my shoulders. And the truth hurt. It stung like the final thrust of a sword must feel as it pierces you, as the ultimate horror consumes you, as your last breath escapes you. I didn’t feel this burden and this pain for only myself, but for all humanity. We lost. We all lost. The cruel torture of watching the clock count down only a fraction of an inch out of my reach was too much to bear. I was certain that I would die of despair before the final tick, and what was to follow. And worst … worst of all … if I had only won that damn finger stylus … we all could have won … we all could have lived. Damn. Didn’t they realize? Couldn’t they hear? Couldn’t they see past all those other shallow pleas? I’m the one …. I’m the one who really needed that … thing.

Because I invented them. You see I have rather fat fingers and it's always been hard for me to hold a pen, pencil, stylus.. you see my point. Well I just had to have a Axim X5 so I bought one. The trouble was that I just couldn't seem to use the stylus because of my huge fingers. So I decided that I would use my fat fingers instead of a stylus. I grew one finger nail very long and then shaped the finger nail to work as a stylus. But then I ended up poking my left eye out in my sleep. Now I was half blind and in need of a solution for my stylus-less problem. Working in a plastics plant, I decided that I would make my own stylus that I could wear on my fat fingers like a ring. So I went downstairs and picked up some molten plastic and started to form a stylus finger tip. Now I soon discoverd just how stupid this idea was, because I suffered first degree burns on my hands for picking up the molten plastic and have been unable to use my Axim for the past 2 months. In the mean time some company came out with my great idea.. It could have been me giving them away....

Only most of this lie was not true.
