I almost went down that route! I settled for a $5 Platinum Preppy instead for a few years and picked up a Procyon recently. Don't think I'd spend anything more than that though. I tested out some $250-500 pens and didn't noti

Subscriptions have gone completely off the deep end. This app[1] is a perfect example of how crazy they can get. It's an app that is completed as far as I can tell and I don't know what more features you could add to it. It's
