The fountain pen was never a failed design and never disappeared. It's always been an option just not in most stores. The pens you're more familiar with are popular because they're cheap to make and therefore cheap to buy and easy to keep using and nothing special to throw away when done. But I have a nice $40 fountain pen that's refillable with Jars of regular ink and I love it. Plus the jars of ink have quite a bit of ink for just like $15 you can refill the pen hundreds of times

Fountain pens are still being used in Germany with kids that learn to write.
Now, it might come to you as a surprise that there are "erasers" for the ink that is used in fountain pens. It discolours the ink and has a different type of pen on the other side of the eraser pen, so you can write over the spot again in blue color. Which is why it is though to be practical for students.

I love the fact that you put your real predictions out there and then are willing to "eat your words" when something doesn't come out the way you expect. Makes me smile.....saw it coming with the fountain pen....they are really nice to write with...they do take a little getting used to however...:)

My daughter is currently learning to write and over here (the Netherlands) the school still uses fountain pens. I think fountain pens win on most areas but they have a few drawbacks compared to ballpoint pens:
1. You need special ink if you're lefthanded. The ink in a fountain pen dries slower and it will smudge if you're lefthanded.
2. Convenience. They need replacing the cartridges regularly, they are more likely to leak or cause stains because the ink is much thinner.

Tyler, rechargeable batteries don't have as much juice in them as single use batteries. None of them do. They're good for things like a wireless mouse or a TV remote where you can easily switch them when they die. Obviously, over the entire life of the battery, you're going to get a lot more out of them, but on a per charge basis, they don't last nearly as long. Honestly, it's such a pain to make sure you always have replacements that I'm really glad that so many things are USB powered now. None of the hassle of dealing with the rechargables, but without that awful wasteful feeling of chucking out single use batteries.
