I own one of the earlier Intouos tablets which is still working quite well. The smaller size and the wireless capability of this tablet is a nice upgrade. I have one at home and one at work now.

I own quite a few SanDisk products in my life and they have stood the test of time: on key rings, in pockets . . . in fact, I just had a USB port fail but the Sandisk got re-plugged into another port and worked just fine.

Is this 2 more batteries as shown (with another one powering the drone) or just 2 total in pkg? I assume the latter. Nice deal either way but 3 would be excellent!

Is a phone required for this drone? I’m searching for a camera drone that doesn’t require a phone.
I don't believe Best Buy offers such so I hesitate to suggest vendors they don't carry. A quick Google of "drones with screens" might be your ticket. I believe they range from $200 up to thousands. And you get what you pay for in screen resolution and transmission distance mostly if you get my drift . . . If you are new to the drone scene, be careful. If you buy a drone with a "screened" controller but no GPS, you may watch it fly away never to be seen again! GPS drones are critical and even sometimes they may get confused and fly away. But more often than not, their "Return to Home" feature will bring her right back to you.

What app do I download? I have a Galaxy 9
I have the S9+. Freeflight 6. You can find this for free on Google Play (Android). (iPhoners, in that respective store too.) And in the manual they have the QR code you can scan with your phone to go right to it. It DOES NOT include the Follow Me or Flight Plan addins. But DO NOT hesitate to shell out the extra $1 apiece which will make your Anafi fully featured. Those you must access through the phone software "in-app" purchase. I found it easier to set up the Parrot account on a regular keyboard online but I'm also not a "twenty something" that can type 100 characters a minute on a smartphone!

Who do I contact for technical support for this product?
1) Parrot is your best bet.
2) If it's more of a non-technical problem, Youtube yields excellent tutorials and tips.
3) If you're a geek and don't care about warranty issues, Parrot also has a "How to fix your Anafi" video in their tutorial section.
Fly smart and enjoy!

Maintain the high-quality output of your monochrome laser printer with this Brother high-yield toner cartridge. It lets you produce up to 3,000 pages of consistently sharp, crisp prints, providing lasting supply for bulk printing. This Brother high-yield toner cartridge is compatible with select compact, multifunction and all-in-one laser printer models.
Does this print cartridge dry out or go bad if you don't use it quickly enough...or good for a long time? I am avoiding ink jet because unused cartridges go bad in printer.
Since the cartridges are "dry", there is nothing to dry out. Inkjets use a "wet" medium so there is always the chance the ink will dry and clog the print head from low usage. Sometimes you might have to run a cleaner sheet to wipe away the ink dust that accumulates on a laser printer but a couple of run throughs usually clear it up. And many printers even have a "cleaning" mode.

SimpliSafe - SimpliCam Indoor HD Wi-Fi Security Camera
Add to your peace of mind with this SimpliSafe home security camera. It expands your existing SimpliSafe system with another viewing angle to monitor your premises, and it streams in 720p HD for clear, sharp images. This SimpliSafe home security camera has night vision capabilities for watching any time of day.
Can I get SimpliSafe installed with a camera? If so how much?
I understand some people struggle with the simplest computer technology but if you can operate a smartphone, have it connect to your wifi router and install the app on your phone, you shouldn't need to pay someone for installation. "SimpliSafe" really is what they mean. If you're not tech savvy, that's okay, too. But I wouldn't pay anyone more than $50 for the minutes it takes to get this system operational. It really is as advertised: simple.

Will I be able to watch the video without paying a monthly subscription to Simplisafe? I understand that It will not record so I cannot watch the past, but if I just want to view through the camera is it possible?
Yes you can. It has, let's say, a "baby monitor" type function through your smartphone with sound, too. But it's potential is for the full SimpliSafe system with the hub. Its video quality is nice, though.
