-- Stupid Pen Stylus Tricks - A word of warning (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=8534)

Red face

Well, I used a little bit of Fry's store credit yesterday to justify the purchase of a Handspring Pen Stylus, which is a nifty little accessory.

I was just sitting here at my computer a few minutes ago and I decided to see what sort of ink cartridge the thing uses, because i could swear I remember reading somewhere that it's refillable. It's stuck in there pretty well, so I worried it loose with a pair of pliers.

Of course, now the black plastic holding the pen tip in place in the barrel of the stylus just slides in and out, leading me to believe that the Pen Stylus is not refillable... I'm sure I'll be able to glue or epoxy the pen tip back into place, but I'm pretty bummed... $12.99 is a lot to pay for a disposable pen.

So, the moral of the story is, don't pull your brand new Pen Stylus apart with a pair of pliers.

Red face

Well, isn't my face red. Turns out I was putting the tip in backwards, which explains the loose fit. Moderators, could you please delete this thread?

Ummm... why don't we leave it as an educational item?

Talking MarkEagle's thousandth post

I think we should throw a small party when MarkEagle hits his thousandth post.

It looks like he is getting fairly close.

I'll bring the chips and dip.
