I am going to show my age here, I remember when the "new pen" came out where you could write upside down and the ink would still flow.

Now that was cool.

Now look at us today we take that pen for granted, I feel so old.

Hey Leo,

I picked one up in Target and the other one in Staples. I believe David said he picked his up at KMart. If you are unable to find them around you, let me know, and I will be happy to pick one up and send it your way. Faith

the Paper Mate Write Grip Med or Fine seems to work pretty well and its cheap cheap cheap. When I lose it, who cares?

On that limited edition Pilot G-2 I swapped out the .7mm refill which came with it and put in a .38mm refill. Now I really like the way it writes!!!

This is my favorite, the Dr. Grip Center of Gravity. If you've never tried one, I want to strongly encourage you to do so. To begin with, I've never written with a more comfortable pen (bar none!). Second, while it's not gel ink, Pilot refers to it as "turbo ink" since it appears to have almost the same intensity as a true gel. Rumor has it the pen was the result of the collaboration of a physical therapist and an orthopod. Finally, it has the endorsement seal of the American Arthritis Association. Given this and those fabulous G2s, I believe Pilot makes the best inexpensive pens in the world.
