Stylus is AWOL - Is it just me?

I had a couple of Palm units and never lost a stylus but since I've had my X50v, I have gone through four styli. I just opened the package and got out number five and now I am venting.
Is it just me?

If I only have 1 stylus I never lose it, but as soon as I buy a spare it vanishes...

Hmmm, I think you hit the nail on the head. I never had any extra styli with my Palm units but when I bought the Dell, I loaded up on a bunch of extras such as a case, screen protector, earplugs, and ...a package of styli. After taking the second of three, I bought a new package. Jinxed myself!

Wow! That's just how it worked for me. Way back when, I bought a stylus pack for my Casio E-105 and promptly lost 3 stylus. I never bought a additional stylus for any other PDA I've owned since, and I've never lost another stylus. If you gott'em, loose'em

Probably not just you - but I've never lost one. I've worn one out and had to replace it, though!

Hmm

Sorry, dude. Still have my original from a year ago.
BUT, now that I have said that out loud, I'm sure it will disappear before the day is over...

Still have the one that came with the axim and a spare. I think I still know where the spare one is.. hopefully won't end up like everyone else, losing it.

Got a large styli pen combo
lost the frickin $5 thing

got a set of five lost all of them
got a nice one for christmas (nice peice I'll tell you)
Lost it on metro

I haven't lost mine, but I almost did one night. I was using my axim before I went to bed. Apparentley I fell asleep waiting on a page to load. I woke up, put my axim in my pocket on the way out. Went to school, went to start taking notes, tried to pull out the stylus, and thought I missed or something. I was really worried about where I left it. I felt like a complete idiot when I got home and it was lost underneath some sheets in my bed. O well, still on the orgional.
