when I was little, my mom would come into the room and say, "THIS ROOM LOOKS LIKE A CYCLONESTRUCKIT!!!" It was years before I realized she was saying three separate words, "cyclone struck it."

Techno-geek or Luddite?
I love fountain pens (and most other kinds of pens and pencils, too), but I also like technology. I used a Palm for a long time and I liked having everything in a small package, but then I started having problems syncing it with Outlook. It became such a pain that I decided to go back to paper. Not as convenient or compact, but holding a pen or pencil and writing with it feels so much better than using a stylus on a hard screen. Like a book vs. a Kindle -- the experience of reading would be so much less enjoyable if I wasn't holding a book in my hands, feeling the paper, turning the pages. People have been talking about the demise of books for years. I think there are lots of people like me who will kick and scream before we let them take that last book from us.
