I'm considering purchasing a Fischer Space Pen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_pen
I really like it for its compact size and the pressurized ink. I write on a note pad positioned on the steering wheel (while parked!) and "normal" pens become unusable in this position after a couple of seconds.
It's hard for me to lay down $20 on a pen that I haven't been able to hold and test. Does anyone here have experience with a Space Pen? What are your thoughts on it? Is it a bunch of hype and hooey or is it worth the dough?
