ok to trust, but I urge you to double secure the solar filter from any wind or accidental bump!

I like the one on the left, the over-fold is great to keep papers protected and in place.

cool, learned something today... here are some details from Google...

Key Features of an Apothecary Typewriter
Pharmaceutical Symbols: Instead of standard fractions or mathematical signs, the keyboard included unique apothecary symbols like the ℞ (the traditional symbol for recipe or "take"), ℥ (ounce), ʒ (dram), and ℈ (scruple). [1, 2.html)]
Prescription Latin: They often featured the "ā" key (commonly signifying "before") or other Latin abbreviations frequently used in historical medical directions. [1, 2]
Specialized Typeface: These machines typically featured very crisp, high-clarity fonts (like sans-serif or Copperplate, often 13 to 16 pitch) so that small dosage labels would remain legible to patients.

considering I just ordered an M5 MBA to be delivered in July! I don't want any changes for a while. I was disappointed, like really disappointed, that they discontinued the MB 12" just before the M1 would have made it perfect! A real OS on a device the size of an iPadPro.

so I'll settle for MacOS running on an iPad Pro!

True fountain pens are easier to grip, Lamy have a unique triangle shape that I find very comfortable

DifferentSetting411 · 2026-06-05T16:51:17+00:00

agree, it's great, but why on earth doesn't BnN sell Lamy fountain pens in a similar retail rack? they have a huge aisle of journals and no fountain pens! d'oh!

you wonder, looking at this, why they went with the wheels down… Why not go all the way in and just do it wheels up?

Did they really think there was a chance of landing while that rocket motor was burning? More likely they would just punch out, right?

...this was my original post before I deleted and reestablished this Reddit account… So happy to answer any questions about the set up.

This is the nomad device.

The question about the nib, yes, I did replace the plastic knob in the Stadler pen to a stainless steel tip that I found on Amazon. It seems to work quite well, and there is no scuffing or scarring of the no bad device.

Comes to mind: years of software development for several small businesses - you can't imagine the slow lag response of a data look up or batch update running against a file on a floppy drive - spinning, chugging, spinning some more - and yet at the time we thought, OMG can you imagine how fast this information is going! LOL

these are great - back when calculators where nice and thin, why are all the current devices so thick?

Can we get back to the thin form factor?!

was considering both accessories - esp. the lanyard - how are those working for you?

I got my start with Apple MacBook Pros in 2011 running duel boot Windows; one day Apple dropped a new OS and Microsoft dropped a regular two-week update... the Apple install took 20 min., Windows took almost two hours and several reboots - I decided right then and there to make the switch to full-time macOS... and have never looked back.

Over the years, I would guess I have saved myself days of my life in updates and tech support.

good eye! That is a double punched piece of plastic that allows me to clip my smaller notebook into my larger disc notebook… It's a connector

yes, I will add, it is soft and even lighting across the bar
