I know this isn't really computer related, but I thought some of you with the original style DS may be interested.

I always thought the DS stylus was too small, so after finding this (http://www.pdapanache.com/products.asp?PID=SS3PK) I thought, I can do that. So I did.

First, I found a suitable pen, in this case a Staples Comfort Stic.

Next, I disassembled the pen and removed the ink part.

Then I inserted the DS stylus into the tip of the pen.

Finally I slid the tip and stylus back into the shaft of the pen.

Voila! No more toothpick stylus.

Let me know what you think! :beer:

Gonna go try that now.

Though, you could always just buy a stylus that's bigger (they make those in a lot of things)

The stylus actually wedges into the pen very well. It doens't come loose at all. :)
