Not a fan of pens! My handwriting is pretty bad and being able to erase it is a nice perk. Pencils are also more versatile when it comes to drawing/sketching.

I've got a Mont Blanc around here somewhere... (searching drawers) Now I'm so embarrassed... Well, when I do find it, it'll be in perfect condition!

This is why I use cheap ballpoints -- I never worry about losing them!

Keyboards.

My handwriting is so horrible its not even worth trying. The closest I can get to legible handwriting is to grab a bottle of ink and pour it over the paper.

How could I explain this...

its smaller (usually) version of thing that every man has. Main difference is that its usually not permanently connected to any other object and it contains ink which is (usually) intended to be used for writing.

Been using the Pilot G-2 for a little over a year now. Love the way it fits the hand and survives the washing machine!

Ran the last one dry and haven't replaced it yet, so I'm using an old Uni-ball ONYX micro I found in my desk.

I have a lifetime supply of drug company ball point pens from my days as a tech.

Understandable choice. I would imagine that fountain pen or ballpoint fits badly to ferret's paw.

The good old ball point. But the only time I use a pen is to sign something, typing on the pc changed all that. I think every now and then its good to get out a pen and start writing on paper one time there I hadn't used a pen for a long time probably a couple of years when it came to sign my name on paper it looked like a 2yr old had wrote it. Its like I forgot how to write.

For some reason, I could never get behind the 0.7mm pencil. My implement of choice is a 0.5mm mechanical pencil, but I've had trouble finding ones I like.

Pens, I lose. My pencil, I've had for at least 7 or 8 years now.
