[Electronics-talk] best place to buy labels for the PenFriend

[Sandy]

Annette and all,

I first got a Pen Friend from ILA, and later bought a touch memo from ILA. 
These both essentially do the same things, though touch memo is louder and 
has a few extra features.  My touch memo is the only pen-type device that 
came with laundry labels.  I haven't used much of those, but they have 
stayed on fastened via safety pin.  What I do is to wriap Dymo tape (sticky 
sides together) around a rubber band and place a label on the Dymo tape.  An 
old coofee is where I keep these labels for reuse.
