I'm in my 70s, and when I was a kid there were fountain pens and even dip pens pretty much all over the place. I can't remember when I made the switch from (crappy, cheap) fountain pens to ball point pens, but once I did, I stayed with them for years before discovering the joys of non-crappy fountain pens. Nowadays, I go weeks or even months at a time without touching a ball point pen, and then only when dire necessity arises.
That got me to wondering about something. I wonder if there's anyone on this forum who has used fountain pens as his or her primary writing implement for their entire life, since childhood. Please, if you are such a one, don't be shy! Step right up to the mike and tell us about it. Pretty please, with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, chopped nuts and two -- okay, three -- cherries on top.
