Why all good citizens should use fountain pens by
marlinspike
I have always been concerned with the laws of my local government; however,
I have noticed that thanks to fountain pens, I find myself writing my local
government to either support their plans or to discuss certain laws (i.e.
why they are wrong :-) If the political parties want people to get out...

A Tale of Two Pens by
Matt Gabriel, Mad Poet of Newport
So, I wanted a replacement FP to take the place of the little Filcao
Forever I mangled, at least until it's repaired. I bought one well
regarded modern, and one vintage that qualifies for "a classic."
The local Office Max had a Waterman Phileas "starter kit" for $30,
about what the Forever cost...

Sheaffer Violet vs Purple by
Edward Bonaventure
On 13 Jul 2003 at 22:12:03 GMT, Dik F. Liu scribbled:
-This code ensures that the pigments confirmed to the ASTM standard
-of that pigment.
That pretty much answers the question. It sounds like those
designations should be truer to the "old-fashioned" names for colors,
unlike the "warm and...

Wow! We got the large box from Giovanni yesterday with the Columbus

Lovely (unhealthy) stuff!
Not necessarily. I saw on TV on a show called Good Eats that with the right
oils and when prepared properly, after he made a basket of fish and chips
only 1.5 teaspoons (or something around there)...

Levenger Prima Updates? by
Pahoo
I did a recent search for this FP in the group archives and the results were
a few posts a couple of years ago. Any new comments on this inexpensive
"starter" pen?
I am attracted to the appearance of the slim barrel dimensions. Anyone have
any experience they would like to update us...

Pocket PC and FP Convergence by
Ken Freeman
Convergence has been all the rage in technology over the past decade or so,
and I'm catching up at my usual pace. I just bought a Pocket PC for
scheduling, et cetera. Now I find I can't write worth a hoot using that
tiny stylus, plus I still only want to carry one pen. I saw a Rotring

I think what you meant to say is the other way around. I.e.,

Its time! Who wants to make the first entry in the HZC? by
Avery A. Hise
First a journal must be decided on. It must be durable enough to
withstand its travels around the globe, yet delicate enough to
accommodate the most pernickety nibs.
