What do you write with regularly now?

My safari is my daily driver now but I have FOMO since I heard Neil Gaiman uses the 2000.

it’s one of my gotos - i have a more expensive one but i usually prefer my safari

Cost of ink cartridges over those three decades?

Amazing it lasted so long!

Say a cartridge last 2 months and costs $0.60, and you use it every day, that’s $0.01 per day
Still very good!
