 There is no stylus provided with the laptop, and no place in the laptop to
 keep one when you aren't using it.  If we provide one externally, kids
 will tend to lose it.  If we don't provide one, they'll either write on
 the trackpad with pencils or pens or sticks or forks or the AC adapter or
 other objects we'd rather not have touching the trackpad.

 It was easy not to notice the lack of a stylus when that half of the
 hardware didn't work, and when none of the software supported using it for
 much.  But that era is ending.

 I'm challenged to think of any other piece of hardware that can accept
 stylus input, yet doesn't have a stylus garage built into its frame, and
 come shipped with a stylus.
