A bit odd thread perhaps, but what kind of pens does most mac users use?

(The nicest in my collection of pens, have quite a lot of different pens. This is the one I use mostly at work.)

I use a Lamy fountain pen, just prefer the feel, nice and smooth and makes my crappy handwriting look better.

Wow, didn't know people took pens so seriously. I had a nice Cross once, but lost it, like I do with most small things, so I only use basic pens now.

me too, for everyday stuff.

my fine pens consist of a couple of Parkers(Sonnet and Latitude models) and two Crosses (both Townsend models).
and one handmade fountain pen from a friend of the family.

Crappy old ballpoint. I get boxes of 50 at a time, as I'm forever losing them. I seriously doubt I have ever run a pen out of ink in my life.

I'm also a notorious pen thief. When I'm lurking around other peoples desks, they quietly move their pens out of reach, as I have a terrible habit of absent mindedly picking them up and walking off with them.

i dont have no mac's
i didnt think so many people would have such a large love for fountain pens. i do like a good fountain but i don't write enough because i don't work a job that has a desk or anything...
so obtaining a new fountain wouldnt really be an effecient choice in the dispersal of my funds

I need to get myself a really nice pen - I hate the ones I use now.

I grip the pen real low on the body. I guess you could say I have terrible pen posture. I should get a pen that would force me to change. Any suggestions?

I think it would improve my rubbish handwriting.

I have a thing about pens. I love the Pilot G2's as discussed above. I like all colors because I like to color-code my work. Of course, I'm a teacher so I have a lot of categories to code. Love good pens!! :D
