The price -- plus the fear of issues with the cap cracking like on my M600 Violet and White -- are what's inhibiting me....  

Especially since I may have to break down and get a new laptop sometime in the coming year.  The cord bit the dust yesterday.  I've got a temporary stopgap, in that a friend of my husband's had a spare cord (but not in a whole lot better shape than mine, although he's done some kludges that I can at least have a temporary stopgap).

Not sure how old your laptop is, but you can always buy a knockoff charger from Amazon.

Maybe if it was a Windows box....  

Think of Apple products as being like Parker converters and cartridges: proprietary.  My husband acquired a Mac laptop somewhere along the line but the charge cord had a different connector from mine.

You can buy macbook chargers for pretty much every macbook from at least 8 years ago. For example, Apple still directly sells this charger which was designed for macbook pros from 2012-2015: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD506LL/A/apple-85w-magsafe-2-power-adapter-for-macbook-pro-with-retina-display?

A white Stresemann.

That is an interesting observation. I wonder how a mixed set would look (one black pen, one white pen).

      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
