I've been invited for dinner at a restaurant tonight for the birhtday proper of one of my two roomates(there was a larger party this weekend, but this evening is more of a private dinner) which will leave me unable to stream tonight.

This said, for a bit of an update on things:

-I have a new scanner. A very good model which should be of use and help not only to myself, but also one of my roomates(it has capacity to properly scan photos and microfilms, something which means a lot to her since she needed something of the like to scan some of the last photos, slides and microfilms of her late grandmotehr who died this year).

-The tablet pen situation is only a matter of wait now. A RMA was submitted and approved and replacement pens are being shipped to me. I don't even have to return the original defective pens which removes a lot of wait time.
