I've not used a pencil in years: I even do crossword puzzles in ink. I do have a lot of ball-point pens acquired over the years of my military service, all neatly marked with "U.S. Government". I have no idea who this guy was, but his pens tend to last a long time and be relatively comfortable to use. I generally write with a Koh-i-Noor Rapidograph with either a .1mm or .3mm tip, using either Rapidograph ink or, when I can find it, the authentic Higgins India Ink. Where I have to use a ball-point pen, I use a Cross with a fine black insert. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
