Buy of the Week - Yoropen

Reference

While we were down in Boston, we stopped at the MIT Museum and gift shop. There we found these pens and bought 2 for the middle son at $14 each. He found it fantastic! It has saved him at university, with all those stupid hand-written test essays. This pen alone will launch him into an infinitely expensive law school! (aaarg, more ad clicks please!).

When I looked it up on the internet, they're only about 3 bucks each at Canada Office Supplies, and I bought a few for Christmas. I just get the cheapest disposable one, and that is one heck of a good gel pen! I can't use normal gel pens because I want to write too slanted, and they always cough up blood on me. These pens keep the tip vertical.

So the lesson here: Stupid MIT! Great pen!

So why u can't get yoropen as sponsor of google ads instead of freakin Scientologists.
Any way looks neat. But with net book why write? Just type at what ever speed prof talks at lol.

Impossible to get good ads. For history and other subjects, they still have to write long essays by hand in the exams.

Maybe the pens you bought your son were the refillable ones? The $2.45 ones are disposable. The refillable ones are 10.99 CAD at Canada Office Supplies.
