Hardware question.

Well,

Nobody had any ideas for my old laser printers (hint hint) how about this
one:

I broke the touch screen my Handspring Deluxe, it still works fine, but I
can't input any info.

Any ideas on interfacing this with a stamp for something?

I know this is a stretch, but I thought someone may have an idea out there
for me.


Thanks in advance,


John Walton

    I've got a pretty good idea for the handspring.

    Send it back to handspring. If their repair program is anything like the
    palm III they'll replace it for $100.

    Sean,

    I would send it in, but I can buy a brand new one, identical model, for
    $130..... Hardly makes it worth shipping.

    Might have some fun with it in public. Pretend to be using it, then slam it
    down on the ground and stomp it into pieces.
