Back when I started, taking and digitizing this picture would have set me back many thousands of dollars. Today, I just snapped it to try out my new (well, refurbished) $200 phone ...

I think that it's more than just the equipment. *I* couldn't have gotten that crisp a shot even with my digital SLR and set of close-up filters.

Of course, yesterday I had to transfer a file from my old G4 tower desk computer to my laptop, which involved explaining to the G4 that it was NOT April of 1969.... Fortunately I had already saved the file as a .pdf so I COULD load it on my laptop, since it was originally done in Appleworks (which Apple in its infinite wisdom no longer supports -- and which gave me more usability than iPages, iNumbers and (probably, if I had it) iPaint COMBINED.... I keep getting notifications to upgrade Safari -- but the last time I did it was incompatible with the most recent version of iMovie (installed at the SAME TIME); plus I had to delete iPages and re-install an older version in order to fix the "feature" in the newer version (and was unpleased, to say the least, when some dimwit in the "Creative Media" section of Apple Support said "It's supposed to be like that!" "No. No it isn't. You morons broke it.... Now tell the idiot engineers to FIX it...."

I also enjoy my s20, sometimes replacing fountain pens when erasability is required. Just yesterday I picked up a super grip 0.5 pencil for outings as it is cheap, well proportioned, and the tip retracts but has very little play.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
