What do you do with that stock stylus now that you have replaced it?
I know everyone must either have a replacemet stylus on order or already have an aftermarket stylus, so what should we do with the old one? I was thinking about sending mine back to Handspring. If we all did this, what a message we could send!
Any other ideas?

I keep mine in the stylus sylo for an emergency, since my replacement stylus (a pen style) doesn't fit in the sylo.

When I first got my Visor, I did the same thing. But, when I wasn't at work, and I didn't have my pen w/ stylus with me, I would use the old stock stylus in a pinch. Then came the scratches.

Sits in my Handspring box in my closet, sharing space with my Handspring stickers.

I got a deluxe stylus from the start. No regrets.

Well,

You could collect a bunch of them and use them as swizzle sticks at the next local Visor/computer/geek user group social.

Mine is in the box, with my USB cradle.

You could use it for one of those moments where your ear itches really bad...seems to be about the right size to get in there

I've filed it down to a fine point, and now I'll never have to buy another toothpick again.

I like Visor Empowered's idea of using them at at "Visor Geek" party in our mixed drinks. Could you imagine all the beaming that would go on at that event!?

Along with the swizzle stick idea, I think they would work great holding cold-cuts, cheeze, and olives on the buffet table.

I also though about giving mine to my Palm Pilot co-worker so he gets some scratches on his screen. He is so smug about his "perfect screen". I am proud of my scratched screen! It's like a well worn saddle. I am a coyboy, dammit!

So what does the stock stylus looks like. I think I have the delux stylus. It came with the visor and the body is made out of metal.

The stock stylus is a peice of sh*&. Its plastic just a plastic object that looks like a toothpick. According to your description of a metal barrel, you have the deluxe stylus.
