I was wondering about this. Here's the thing: my regular ball-point pen doesn't work too well when it's used upside-down here on Earth (I haven't yet managed to check it in orbit.) After a short while, it starts to run dry and I need to hold it upright and shake it a few times to get it started again. So those magic pens have a use down here at least.
