After reading all the horror stories on the Zaurus.com site (about stylii breaking off and worse damage when people tried to retrieve them), I\'ve taken to leaving my Z stylus alone and only use it for emergencies (like showing off). I don\'t really like the tiny grip anyway. For regular use, I found a dry stick of about 1cm in diameter, reasonalbly straight. Sharpened in a pencil sharpener and filed a little so it\'s neither dangerous to me or to the Z, it\'s just the ticket.
