[Electronics-talk] Seeking Info about the Pen Friend

[Sandy]

Jim,

It seems to me, if I remember well, that my friend said each label has a 
diffferent number.  Maybe by the time you get the b set, you have used like 
the first numbers.  Really, I have no clue.  What I do know is that my 
labels do not work interchangeably with the two pen like gadgets I own.
