Thanks, Joe. None of my pens is an antique either, but I have sixteen modern pens, all but three of which are inked and in use. My current favorite is a 1970s Pilot 3A with a fine nib and an "aereometric" squeeze filler, but I make a habit of writing a bit with each of the inked pens every day to keep them flowing. I currently have pen-pals in Idaho, Rhode Island, Saskatchewan, and Singapore; Friday night I wrote letters to three of those, without fatigue due to the nature of a fountain pen and some very good ink (Noodler's Bulletproof Black). I'm hoping this practice will improve my abominable handwriting; I know it's made me slow down and concentrate on my spelling ... :-) -- Mike Hungerford http://www.chthulhu.com/ "The pen is the tongue of the mind." -- Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
