It's time to THROW OUT all your Mont Blanc and other pens...

The computers have taken over...

It learns your writing, then you just sit back and relax!

Interesting for sure but it will never be able to duplicate the physical sensation of actually writing what you are thinking.......

Computers were supposed to replace the mechanical watch. A computer may write, but a computer cannot replace the joy of writing with a pen. (Remember typewriters-pens were destined to be placed on junk pile of history[HA HA]. Prices of mechanical watches have sky rocketed. In 1964, a 1603 sold for $170. Today, a similar watch will sell for approximately $8000.

It is interesting idea but surely same could be achieved by putting fp ink in a printer and adding new fonts to word

But in this case it actually looks like handwriting, if it was printed "a", "b", "c" and so forth would look identical

Those computers can kiss my inky arse!

There is nothing more satisfying that penning a letter to a friend on onion with a oblique!

If I find out that someone cannot tell the difference between a hand-written note or letter and a computer-generated document, I do not write them, email them, text them, fax them or call them anymore.

I have very low postage costs, internet costs, TV costs, and phone costs.

I am moving (retiring) to a cabin without internet, TV, or cell phone service, so this may work out OK. I can still drive 8 miles in to town to the Post Office.

Although, I am not sure I have that many friends anymore . . .

I have resolved to start writing letters and notes again for "Snail Mail" - with a fountain pen.
