I use the Palm desktop (and Datebook Plus), with an M505, and they're both quite excellent. Clear and easy to use. But I can see that if the M505 pegs out some time, I will want to use iCal, with my iPod Touch. However, I don't want to lose my stored Palm info. Is there any conversion utility out there that would enable me to migrate to iCal? -- Peter

Have a look at the export options, iCal can import vCal (or Entourage) info so if you can export your calendars in that format? -- Jon B Above email address IS valid. <http://www.bramley-computers.co.uk/> Apple Laptop Repairs.

Nope, the iTpuch (and the iPhone) work by sensing ypur capacitance, so the stylus tip needs to be conducting, and connected to your hand, or some other source of capacitance, but in the nature of things your body is by far the handiest source. That's why a screw, broad and downwards, works so well. And why the best tip is made of conducting foamed plastic- and why an improvisation (did I say bodge?) using conductive coated Mylar does work. I can see how the finished article will work, when I source the foam. It's used to protect chips in transit, and my sons in law have both recently taken delveries from Crucial. I have hopes... It's really been a fun afternoon, by a retired person's definition of 'fun'. -- Peter
