What I meant was by pulling the concept kitchen film off the screen,
will it also pull off the sony screen, since you have to use some
force to pull the the concept kitchen screen off./

Dear MAGICCAP List,

Wayne Sanderson made a good point about the underutilization of
comp.os.magiccap.  I'll cc:
postings to there from now on, and recommend we use it for project
communications.

I doubt this would happen--I've used these protectors on a variety
of devices (Newtons, Zoomers, an OmniGo, a few watches, a GPS--
I hate getting scratches on plastic things :~) ) and haven't noticed
anything like this.  They don't use adhesives; only static cling
and suction (or so they've told me).

It is possible that the force required to remove it could be tugging
at the mylar layer that's part of the touch-sensitive screen.  It might
help to remove the protector by pulling it off parallel to the screen,
as opposed to yanking upward, perpendicular to the screen.  However,
I don't recall having any problems when I removed a protector
from a PIC 1000 recently.

It would be nice if these devices used hardended glass screens like
the larger pen computers, but this would require a much different
digitizer technology be used, which would probably add to the weight,
cost, and battery consumption...

Dear MLinkers,

I interested in finding out how people have used their Magic Link on a
daily basis.  Has life been easier? harder? etc

Thanks for your input.

I am into a serious weight reduction on what I carry around. I no longer
carry a Think Pad 750c + case + wires, a large daytimer etc. Just the ML
and a note pad in a briefcase. Time will tell if this works out in
practice but the last week has been fine and this week I am  adding the
e-mail stuff so things should get even better. That is my main
motivation.

Ted

It all depends on how much memory is left!
