"Writing with a fountain pen is a real pleasure and many writers are pen queens - you'd be surprised at how some of the toughest guys can't wait to tell you about their new Mont Blanc. "

There is Writing, and then there is *Writing* (Bow. James Bow.)
"I have a decent Waterman fountain pen and it truly is much more comfortable to write with than your standard ballpoint pen — it’s more comfortable than your standard gel pen, even, and you never run out of ink (unlike the gel pens which seem to have less than fifty pages worth of ink inside them)."

The Ink must flow!
"I am getting a wee bit frustrated here. My Mont Blac Fountain pen, trusty by my side for the last 12 years or so is deciding not to play nice anymore. To be more precise, the ink doesn’t flow well anymore"

In high-tech world, fountain pens endure - The Boston Globe
"The disposable ballpoint pen is so cheap and convenient that it's hard to believe there was a time that pens, in particular fountain pens, were a valued fashion accessory that reflected social status, personality, and tastes."
