Yup.  Perhaps if you tap the stylus somewhere else, and drag it to where
you want the halos to appear.  I've had to do that trick some places
(list morphs).

My girlfriend bought the very same tablet you did, spurred by the link
you sent to the list. Just same yesterday.  Haven't got Squeak installed
yet, not until we get networking going so we can get in.  I plan on
putting together a LCARS-like launcher for her.

Too bad you can't run the exobox system on your tablet! :o) That'd be
way fun.

I think Russell and myself are the only ones doing PDA-specific stuff,
at least publically.  A lot of the Dynapad stuff does have to do with
switching windows and such, but now that I have this Jornada 720, whose
640x240 screen can hold two windows reliably, I'm conjuring up some sort
of tiling (and eventually tabbing) window management that I think you be
very useful on a system where you don't want to manually move windows
around, especially a tablet, but I'd like it on my desktop as well.
