How do you change the date?

LSK — Sun, 7 Mar 2010 11:04:16 -0500

I have the Message Pad 2100.

How do you change the date on it?

Also, where can I get a serial adapter so I can attach the Newton to the Mac?

Does it matter what OS I am using on the Mac?

Thanks so much

Doug: Do you use a paper

Doug:

Do you use a paper calendar and task list or digital tools? I see you use both paper and computer for these functions. Thanks!

Sandisk 1GB CF card.

You need the ATA drivers found at www.unna.org to use that CF card (in a CF to PC card Type II adapter card so the pins line up).
Piece of cake.

Hi, Roger!

I got your deck of cards years ago and still find them delightful. Nice to "meet" you!

Piston adapters

Josie — Fri, 5 Jun 2009 08:54:04 -0400

You should be able to get piston adapters for other Lamy's. I've got two in my Safari's (well, one in a safari and one in a vista) and they work beautifully.

Lamy 2000 compared to other Lamy pens?

supenguin — Fri, 15 May 2009 15:27:41 -0400

Doug,
How does the Lamy 2000 compare to the other Lamy pens? My wife has a Vista and I have a Studio and a CP1. I've been seriously considering buying a 2000.

From what I've read, it looks like it is slightly higher quality than the rest of their pens (which is saying a lot! they are all great products) and it is the only piston-filler pen I know of from Lamy.

Looking for alternative to Moleskine?

wikeh2004 — Fri, 15 May 2009 03:10:38 -0400

Doug, Charles,

I've run across a surprising number of websites which revolve around the quest for the perfect notebook. www.biffybeans.com is a good place to start looking for links and a lot of these sites also comment on the fountain pen and notebook paper issue. I agree about the variable quality of Moleskine paper. Wish they would use better quality paper. I don't feel they're worth what they charge when their paper is so poor.

I bought some Rhodia Webnotebooks on sale at www.thedailyplanner.com. Haven't tried them yet (they're almost too nice to write in), but the Clairfontaine paper that's supposed to be in them is reputed to be great with fountain pens and inks.

Other sites that I recall are: www.notebookism.com, www.blackcover.net, www.notebookaddict.com, www.quovadisblog.com, to name a few.

My main notebooks are Circa notebooks with DIYplanner template pages on high quality 24 lb multipurpose paper. Use them with fountain pens all the time. I noticed the folded smurfs issue you mentioned, Doug, and try to be careful when turning the pages. Maybe I should try thicker paper.

Good luck!

Walter

Yikes... crazy times we live in.

Lamy Safari

dougj — Thu, 14 May 2009 19:25:33 -0400

As Michael mentioned, I do tote around a Lamy Vista, which is a clear version of the Safari. I also have a glossy red Safari, a matte charcoal Safari, and two AL-Stars (the aluminum bodied version of it --see my review). As you can tell, I am a fan. The Safari is a very different beast from the Lamy 2000, even though Lamy has produced an excellent pen in each.

all my best,
dj

Safari/Vista

Doug mentioned carrying the Lamy Vista, which is just a clear version of the Safari.

A Peek in the Pack

"I'm not fond of the Moleskine's increasingly lacklustre paper quality --most evident with fountain pens-" Have to agree that the paper in the Moleskines (2009)is not what it used to be. I find that regardless of the choice of ink for a variety of fountain pens it will always bleed through the current paper. I'm sure it only used to happen with certain fountain pen inks and/or pen combinations.

Interesting article - always intriguing to see how other people tackle similar problems and in the process frequently learn of products available in other places.

Regards

Charles.
