Calvin's Palm FAQ - Calvin's got a lot of information there; both as a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and links to other sites. Lately, this is my "jumping off" point - rather than bookmarking everything, I just remember http://www.pilotfaq.com and go to his "links" pages for every other site. |

Information about the PalmPilot Personal pen positioning bug
When I bought a new PalmPilot (in May 1997) I discovered an anomaly - occasionally I
would tap in one place, but the PalmPilot would think I had tapped somewhere in the lower
left-hand corner. This is the history of that discovery and its eventual fix.
Some PalmPilots had a tap problem which wasn't fixed by the patches (at least up
through 2.0.4)
click here to go to Gary Duke's
OS2.04-resitant tap bug page
This is the history about the PalmPilot's tap-bug.
26 Apr 97 - USR's released a patch that fixes it! click here for more information
The tap-bug fix has been included in later OS updates...
Tony Jest collected information about the tap bug and graffiti recognition anomalies from
various web sites. His page is located at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Campus/9054/
He pulls all the pieces together nicely.
