That's more or less the way I feel about it. It's very interesting for sure, I just wouldn't have much utility for such a thing and that guy got WAY too excited about it from my perspective.
There's no way I could have an iPad at my job, but I can easily bring in a few pens and a notepad which has worked wonders for my handwriting!
Handwriting is a lost art. We need to save it.
That is my goal! I'm developing/searching for a curriculum for it for my daughter once she's old enough for school. We're homeschooling her anyways, so might as well help her learn it!
I learned from my parents who both have great penmanship. Mostly through their example. I saw how neat it was and the complements they got when writing on a whiteboard/chalkboard. Made me realize that there is a certain amount of power and confidence that comes with writing legibly.
Very cool!
I was taught in school and despite being an artist young, my handwriting never developed past basics and my printing is atrocious. I mostly new to show down and work on my form but I'll get there.
There is a power in it for sure and I'm fairly well-spoken so I would like my writing to match!

This is the resource I use for my kids and for myself.
I just picked up a new pilot fountain pen this week 🤙. It’s my first gold tipped nib and it’s the smoothest pen I’ve used!
It's a good thing I live near a border town! No international orders on this one. I plan on getting a US mailbox exactly for things like this
Right! It’s so frustrating!
How do you manage?
I’ve got family just across the border, for bigger items. For smaller things I just cross my fingers and hope customs doesn’t check. It’s about 50/50.
Customs a problem with gold tipped pens?
From Japan, yeah.
This is the one I got:
