Most of my friends struggle with it at first until I suggest using a
fingernail. With this it's perfect as Daniel points out. I don't like it
when their first ever use of it is a dab of the screen and nothing
happens. Not a great first impression really.
But when I press the Watch A DVD button then put it down whilst
everything fires up (and the DVD tray ejects, as a finale), it soon
wins them over.

Yeah, I don't even bother aiming it. Sometimes if it's facing in
entirely the wrong direction I still use it.
Arm of the sofa is dangerous though. Whilst *I* have the spacial
awareness to know it's there and have never knocked it over. It's
been clouted a few times by unaware friends. That's a problem.
What do you do if one of them knocks it over, it falls 2 feet to the
ground and breaks ... accidental damage on the house insurance
then I guess?
