How can you use a pen on a laptop touchpad? - GoFuckYourself.com

Myst · 11-05-2007, 04:12 PM

Yea I know its a weird request..
But if youve tried to ever use a pen on a touchpad, the mouse never moves!

Basically heres my problem. I have to sign some forms that were sent to me via email. I dont have a printer, a fax machine or a scanner. Ill have to go get on the bus for 25 mins, print out the forms, sign them, then either scan them (if I can find a scanner which I doubt I can) or mail them back.

Orr.. I could just sign them with a pen on a touchpad and email it back

Any ideas?

Use a friends PC to print, scan, send.

On a side note, I've seen plenty of people with ink on their touch pads. I always wondered how that happened. heh

sign a white piece of paper, take a photo of it with your digital camera, place the signature on the forms

Try to photoshop your signature on to it and send it as a png?

That's what I usually do

Maybe if you got something that was thicker (and wouldn't write on your laptop!) you could do it, but if I've had to do it and send it, I either use an electronic signature and just type it in and have it add my hostname and IP, or just go in paint and try to do it with your finger.

Maybe a stylus from a Palm or something like that?
