you have to write with a pen. Slashdot’s question of the day is ‘Which pen is the best when you don’t have a wordprocessor?‘.
In earlier days, I remember Alfons’ obsession to find the best pen. If I’m not wrong, it took him hundreds of pens before he found the perfect one, which happened to be a Mt. Blanc Sheaffer Lamy. Stainless steel. Naturally, at that time I thought it was ridiculous. A pen is a pen was my slogan and I was the proud owner of hundreds of BIC, Parker and others. I wonder if he still has the same pen. And if he does, I envy him.
Update: Sheaffer instead of Lamy. See comments.
Update 2: I’m goofing up. I remember that pen was actually a Mont Blanc.
I never had a Lamy ballpoint, I did have Sheafers, an expensive Mt. Blanc (which was too thin for my fingers), and a Pelican (which I preferred).
My latest ball point, which was really fine, was also a Pelican, and quite heavy. I always mocked it was from solid volcano stone (basalt).
However, I lost it unfortunately.

I think I remember that one: I recall you were showing it last year :-).
