Your comment opened my eyes on the matter a little bit.

As some others in this page, I loathe the act of writing, but it's also a negative feedback loop where I use disposable ballpoint pen. I remember I used to prefer foutain pen in high school.

Still, for my case I see two potential downsides with foutain pen:

- mobility (train trips and bike commuting). I remember instances of leaks.

- Infrequent use. I'll keep being a keyboard-first note-taker. :)

I guess I need to shop for shake-proof, non-drying pen and cartridges.
