ABSTRACT:
An operator or artificial finger tip for entering commands and data into a personal data device, such as an electronic notebook, by contacting the screen of the personal data device. The operator comprises a partially rigid base which encircles the finger, generally conforming to the finger, and a rigid tip member which projects forwardly from the base to contact the screen. The tip of the tip member is of reduced diameter at the point of contact with the screen. The tip member has a snap fitting connector enabling it to be manually and removably attached to the base. The base is tubular and has a plurality of sockets, and the tip member has an equivalent number of male elements snap fitting to the sockets. Preferably, a plurality of tip members are provided, each differing from the others in diameter such that a selection of tip sizes varying in relative fineness at the point of contact with the screen is available to the user.
