I have just lost my last tablet pen-tip.
Sadly, the last thing I drew with it was this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/Al_Ninio/schmeh.png) pathetic MS Paint picture.
My chances of finding it are very slim, and there is no where I could buy replacement tips, nor can I afford a new tablet.
Just wanted to vent a little. :(
Dang man, that sucks. I wish I could help you, but I still to this day only have ever used the old mouse. It's a pain, but I cannot afford a tablet either. If I score a new job which I am hoping but ahhh the process is so very drawn out and who knows when it'll be done, then I'll be able to get one. Finally! Until then, my wrist aches and the mouse is filing for mousal abuse.
Wipe that tear off your cheek, my good man. This is the 21st century! Pen nibs for most tablet manufacturers are readily availiable for purchase on the internet. Just go to your tablet's manufacturer site and search around. You'll be nibbin' in no time!
How'd you lose it? do you carry it around with you?
No, I dropped it in my room.
But considering the fact that I've already lost about 5 of those here, I doubt I'm going to find it.
It's a tiny, stealthy little thing.
Ask most tablet owners, those things are REALLY hard to find if you lose them. :P
Edit:
Jeez. Found it.
Please excuse this "posted-in-a-fit-of-hysteria" thread.
After having lost all of my "spare" tips in the same fashion (tip falls off, replace tip, repeat ad nauseam), I got quite worried.
Why do they make it so the tips can come out, anyway?
I've never witnessed any wear, and most PDA stylus...es(?) are used in practically the same way and don't have tips that fall off, at least not THIS easily.
I thought about glueing(sp) it in, but since the pressure sensitivity is in the pen, that would probably mess things up even more.
MUST RESIST OBVIOUS JOKE.....
NO, I CAN'T....
Given your nationality, Al, I'd have thought you wouldn't need a tip...
Oh, we keep the tip.
It's the prepuce that we do away with.
Especially when it comes to... Tablet pens. o_O
