Well, you got me, so I quick search of the net and my newton
documentation turned up... nothing. Now that I've conclusively proven
to myself Apple never once referred to it as being a Titanium stylus,
my entire theory is in doubt. So, where did that rumor start?
Now I'll have to scavenge up a spectroscope and recreate the experiment.
Unless anyone has further info...
