My personal preference is the blue 07mm, though at UBC I used the 05. Best everyday pen that money can buy. (I am one of said fountain pen owners... used for special occasions only) At last someone that appreciates the G2!

That being said, people spend huge amounts of money on beautiful things. If they find pens beautiful, why not buy them instead of paintings, sculptures, etc?

It seems to be the case that unless you have studied calligraphy, nothing will make your (anyone's) chicken scratch look any less chicken-scratchy. I think it's hard to beat a G2 for writing, and for drawing the ultra fine tip sharpie permanent marker. Anything else should wait until you're so bored with your executive office that you get the masochistic urge to start collecting pens that physically pain you to lose.

I like the contrast between the discomfort of riding Greyhound and the simple freedom of the flying bird. I like this photo.
