View Full Version : Hello from Austria

I have been lurking for some time and decided to join. I am an Austrian living in Vienna and very attached to my Apple devices -- the digital yin in my life. My analog yang is that I need/want analog tools with me: an automatic wrist-watch and pen & paper. I use Field Notes and Moleskine. My Moleskine notebook is always with me and I religiously take all my meeting notes (including virtual ones like Skype) writing with one of my fountain pens.

I collect, love, and use various pens:

1) Montegrappa is simply the best fountain pen for me
2) Pelikan M200 fountain pens: I love them on a daily basis and use them in my home office (black & 2x highlighter)
3) Mont Blanc in general

I recently added my first (of many more to come!) Kaweco AC Sport fountain pen to my collection. I am awaiting a Michael's Fatboy coming in soon by USPS. I am lusting after several pens including Visconti, Alfred Dunhill, and Conway Stewart.

I am not so much into various inks but I already use the Pelikan 4001 (my favourite), Edelstein Sapphire, and Kaweco cartridges. I use blue only. I usually throw away cartridges in other colours.

I have been in and out of several forums and I really hope to stay a bit longer.

Hello BizDevCon,

Welcome to the Fountain Pen Geeks forums! Smaller than the largest pen fora, larger than some, you'll find a comfortable community of pen-centric people here, with a growing body of posts, reviews, and group knowledge. Mostly, you'll find people who are enthusiastic about fountain pens, and fountain pen people.

Join in!

Welcome to the discussions and you have targeted some nice pen makers to select your building blocks of your collection. I look forward to viewing more pictures and reading your posts in 2014.
