Thanks Gus! Nope, I mostly use rollerballs, which this one is. Everything here at work is digital or electronic, so about the only think I use my pens for now is signatures.

Gotcha!! Hey, explain the difference between the two (ballpoint vs. rollerball).

I refuse to remain ignorant with pens

Thanks!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they are both essentially "ball" points. Difference is, a ballpoint has a steel ball and thicker ink, whereas a rollerball has a ceramic ball and thinner ink, which flows better.

Thanks Mark, that makes sense.

Hey Sink, they say you can write with that pen underwater. Have you tried it?

I'll be posting a picture later, but in the interim, I want to get the opinions of my pen buddies . . . I am unaccustomed to writing with a fountain pen and I'm certain it takes some practice. Please recommend a good inexpensive FP that I can try to see if I enjoy the writing experience. (I love fine & x-fine ponts, in this case, nibs.) Thanks much, Faith

(Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread. If anyone has any ideas, could you please shoot me a PM? Thanks.)

The anniversary was in July so I should have said "20 odd years ago"
