[Athen] Live Scribe 3 Smart Pens

[Doug Hayman]

I was buying the Echo directly from Livescribe.com a few months ago.

They have been an irritating company to deal with over the years.  A few
Echo devices we'd loan out all had the screens fail on them with the
company offering what, $67 to trade in for another one.

They have had the wireless one come an go in a short span of time and used
to have a pro-pack with pen and 4 notebooks but haven't found that one
recently.

Some of our DO-IT Scholars have been more interested in using Sonocent.
