Using totally vague recollections, someone on the (old PN) NTLK shut down
all conjecture by saying he had (??) bombarded it with x-rays (??) and
plotted the scatter and proved that it was aluminum. He posted the
absorption/reflection/whatever graph for all to see. I was never sure if he
made it all up, but who was I to claim that?
In any case, I believe the styluses to be aluminum because they feel and
sound like my aluminum bicycle, not my titanium bicycle.

Fair enough. The writing tip is plastic, the tip holder (?) is metal.
I'm assuming that the metal tip holding part is titanium, that most Apple
of metals, since that's what the MP2K stylus is made of, and they appear to
be identical in nature. Of course now someone will prove me wrong and I'll
be that much less impressed with my collection of styluses (or is it
stylii? didn't we have this discussion?). But still, once again, the Newton
was ahead of the Apple style curve.
