Yes, they were definitely very interested in the idea but I'm not sure if they've seriously started work on them yet ... I do hope so.

By the way, I think I remember someone saying they plan to issue what they called laundry labels for the penfriend too - I'massuming these can be attached to clothes etc. and will cope with being washed.I can't wait for them!

I can see perhaps that someone may put one shape on soup, another on tinned vegetables etc, but other than for that it seems like a meaningless exercise. Don't get me wrong, it sounds like an excellent little gadget, but I wish they'd have thought it out better.

I can't think of any other reason, and yes, they can be felt after they are stuck on. These drawbacks are comparatively minor. It carries out its main function very well, i.e. that of labelling. The labels I stuck onto freezer items at 10 a.m. are still intact. David -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of john coley Sent: 01 August 2009 16:14 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] penfriend labels Hi, I'm puzzled as to why penfriend labels should be any bigger than the area the code occupies. Surely, given that the data is on the penfriend and not the label there's no need for it. The size of the thing you're labeling surely doesn't come into it. It occurs to me that making labels bigger than they need to be would potentially limit the functionality, not increase it. Also why different shapes. Are the labels thick enough that you can feel what shape they are when stuck on something? I also hope that on units subsequent to this first production run that the design faults mentioned in previous posts will be corrected. Am I missing something? John.
