Jenifermarie Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Welcome! I can't quite class myself as a Geekhack level keyboard addict but I do love my mechanical keyboards...Massdrop is killing me now between keycap drops AND fountain pens. When I first got a fountain pen a couple of months back I feared it would be wasted because I do spend so much time on computers, but I've noticed I'm writing at every opportunity now, it's been a really nice change of pace. For the first time ever I wrote a list on the train this morning instead of just putting the list on my phone. It felt good I hope you will find it has the same positive impact for you.

Sasha Royale Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Welcome, Frosty ! I have only tested a Pilot E95 at a pen shop. I asked about it because it is a handsome pen. Possibly an addition to my collection in the near future. I hope to read your impressions . Write with joy. Auf freiem Grund mit freiem Volke stehn.

You never know the true feeling of being broke until you take up a hobby like that. Although I do imagine that this hobby is also quite the wallet killer. Link to post Share on other sites

estie1948 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hello and welcome, Frosty. I'm glad you joined us. Please don't hesitate to share your questions and opinions. I hope you enjoy your time with us. By the way, I once thought of living up there in Northern Canada. I probably should have gone when I had the opportunity. As it is now, I live in a place that is a desert -that is dry always- and yet is extremely cold for much of the year. Not quite the best of both worlds . . . Again, welcome. -David.

Jenifermarie Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Although I am close to Toronto, I unfortunately have work on Sundays... :/I should have joined a week earlier I had visions of you living near Timmins or Thunder Bay when you said "the great north of Canadia", wood cabin style after reading your letter, I take things too seriously . I used to live in Ottawa and I would look at the Toronto forecast with envy, then Timmins to remind myself it could be worse on those wonderful -20C or worse days.

Mac in Alberta Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 A warm Alberta howdy! Hope you like the place. Mac Sometimes a technology reaches perfection and further development is just tinkering. The fountain pen is a good example of this. Link to post Share on other sites
