Laurent -
Thanks for the tip! (pun intended -sorry, couldn't resist)
I found a replacement for my MP130 pen (which I lost at a convention in
Dallas) in kind of an unusual fashion.
I went to a local office supply store and bought a package of three
replacement Palm styli (the good ones with the silver casing, not the crappy
grey plastic ones) for about $8 U.S. But the Palm styli are way too thin to
be handy, so I got the bright idea of sticking one INSIDE a nice goldtone
pen (made by Quill, I believe) in place of the ink.
It fit perfectly. I put the spring on top of the stylus before putting it
into the pen, and there's a little bit of springy give which seems to
improve the "feel." I just clip the pen inside my Calise case and away I go.
I'm sure this is probably just a stroke of luck, but what it means is that I
have a cool gold stylus that looks great. Haven't noticed any unusual wear
on the screen yet from the Palm stylus. Maybe someone else has? I'd be
interested to know.
