I too went to school at a time when fountain pens were the only permissible writing instrument. Now I use a fountain pen mostly to write my daily journal, and have pampered myself by buying a nice (at least relatively) fountain pen and a couple of bottles of good ink. I love writing with this pen and ink combination. When I hear about fountain pens as a hobby and how the hobbyists like to collect pens and inks, somehow I cannot relate to this at all. For me, now that I have found a fountain pen that I like, my focus is set entirely on the writing and never do I feel the urge to go get another fountain pen. I will think about another fountain pen only if the current one is lost or broken.
