hi
i got a toshiba M200 tablet pc/laptop off ebay for really cheap, but it doesn't come with the stylus. it is an active digitiser, so it would normally require the pen it came with, but a new/used one is like $30
is there some other thing i can use instead? i read somewher that the screen has a wacom digitiser, and that it is "electromagnetic". would a magnet tip work as well, or what else could i use? thanks!

I too have an m200. You need a special pen designed for use o these types of tablets. The standard pen that normally comes with the table obviously works, but apparently so do many others. If you search Google for "m200 stylus" you will find many discussions about which pens work. You can then shop around and buy the cheapest one. However, I think any stylus you choose will cost at least $25 with shipping.
