I read in the Zoomer manual, I think, that wooden chopsticks are a
good pen substitute. But they're too blunt, about 1/4 inch across.
So taking my que from that, I went to an arts/crafts store and found
some short clay modelling tools made of wood that are just the right
shape and the price was only $1.19 I think.
