Mine is right here in my drawer out of the wrapper. I thought about trying it, but ate my tapioca instead

I keep mine in the plastic and an heavy dust layer glued on it to make sure that no oxygen goes in but, looking carefully, I'm worried about a small hole I'm noticing in the plastic

Jorge, I found that oxygen will ruin them and they won't work. :p

I've heard rumors that Microsabio is planning to release Pen 2.0 and that the new version will be hermetically sealed in an oxygen impermeable case that guarantees no external molecular contact with the pen. The shelf life for the new Pen should be enormous, but no one has yet said whether the new OS will succeed in making it write.

We're waiting for the KickStarter funding to materialize before starting on the ambitious project.

I've been debating with my self, should I finally take the pen out the wrapper and start using it...

I dug mine out and tried it...no luck

Apparently I didn't make it clear that there are least two reasons not to take those pens out of the package:

1) It ruins the resale value.

2) They are designed to be used only in oxygen-free environments. Therefore aside from outer space, the only opportunity for most of us to use it would be several hours into one of our Conference sessions, where we've been known to use up all the oxygen in the room. Or at least the outward appearances of the participants would suggest as much. :rolleyes:

I thought you said to give the good pens to everybody but Herman. Steve's should work fine, oxygen or not.

Ah ok - I think I'll keep it all nicely wrapped and put back into the dark draw and dig it out again ready for the next conference where you all can start a bidding war, the value can only increase, right?

Good idea. And right - it can only increase, presuming it can't go negative.

negative! Ek

Thanks Ty :rolleyes:
