get out those fountain pens

That could be a problem, as I haven't owned nor used such an instrument in about forty years. In high school we were required to do all our writing with a fountain pen. I have no inkling as to why the classroom teachers of that era were opposed to the ballpoint -- it was probably one of those "high standards" things or just a resistance to change.
