Tom HarringtonSadly, this pen seems to have reached EOL.
Chris Espinosa@atomicbird should have gotten Gold instead of going cheap on Bronze but I know, money was tight
jtsom@atomicbird @Cdespinosa I’ve got one of those in a box somewhere! (With a couple CyberDog pens)
heckj@atomicbird @Cdespinosa I loved receiving those update disks back in the day.
jason@atomicbird I guess you won’t be able to write any more code.
Matt Craig@atomicbird @Cdespinosa Mine have too. But my “Kicking butt and writing code”shirts live on (though looking a bit shabby).
Jeff Gilbert@atomicbird awwww. Such a good tool in its time. 😀
Uli Kusterer (Not a kitteh)@atomicbird You know you can just buy a new ballpoint pen refill and screw this one open and replace it, right? The actual ballpoint pen is just a little metal stick on the inside. The plastic is just for your fingers to feel better and the extend/retract mechanism.
So unless the actual mechanism is broken (and even then you can offen just salvage a spring from another ballpoint pen), this pen should have another decade in it.
rk: it’s hyphen-minus actuallyBeIDE on BeOS was really quite good for its time.
