- Are "LR03" batteries AAA? I though there was a difference. This unit
- takes 4 x LR03 for the main batteries and 1 CR2032 for backup.

- Strange. I do just the opposite. I use the pen for everything except
- when it comes time to type. The I hold the pen between my fingers and
- type in a few things. The pen is great for selecting text to cut
- and paste. It also makes entering schedules quick and easy. A few taps
- on the screen to get to the right day, then select start/stop/alarm
- times by touch a time bar and type in the text part.
-
- Maybe its because my fingers are too big, or I don't like leaving
- finger prints all over the screen, but I love the pen.
-
- The pen basically replaces the mouse, and isn't used for what the next
- generation pen based orgs will do (gestures handwriting recog, etc).
