I used to have a fountain pen, but it was a cheap piece of crap that just didn't work very well. I would be interested to see how different the experience would be with a proper one. When I have to use a pen at all these days, my favorite is the Sharpie S-Gel.

The interesting thing is fountain pens have been increasing in popularity the past few years, so pen makers can justify spending a little more money — as a result, even the cheap crappy ones are getting better.
That said, if and when I ever manage to get back to the States for a trip, if we can arrange a get-together, I'll let you try out my 823.
Sounds like a plan! This was probably 30 years ago and the pen was yellow neon plastic with like a hot pink band around the center. I assure it was more of a novelty than anything :) It used these tube cartridges that you put in it, but I think the nib was quite trash.
