That Pelikan is pretty! (must resist - must resist - must resist looking for this online - that's gonna be an expensive websearch!)

Pilot's nicer pens are amazing too - I'm so bummed that my 823's nib can't be repaired, or replaced. It was the sweetest writing tool and it held a gallon(ish) of ink. Even more than a big Pelikan.

Over nearly 25 years in an electronics-limited workplace I've taken more than a few reams of notes. As have my colleagues. Lots of FPs around Los Alamos. I've gotten a few hooked on them, one DINK in particular would come to the bar every time we'd be in DC and she'd say "Look at what fell into my purse at Farhneys...", whipping out some nearly kilobuck piece of art.
