One of the reasons that the 95 is called a palmtop is that you can hold it
in the palms of your hands and type with your thumbs. This may sound rather
conveluted, but with a little practice it allows for quite fast steady
typing. If you try and use it like a calculator, you will find it difficult
to type, I suggest you borrow a 95 and try your thumbs. Let me know how you
find this method.
