I lost my stylus within a few days. But anything pointy can be used as a stylus, so it's not a big problem. On my desk I've got a pack of toothpicks that I use instead of the stylus. In fact, the toothpicks are better than the original stylus. They're more precise and accurate, they're smaller, they're much cheaper and you can buy 100-packs of new ones just about anywhere.
