Logarithms, what was that all about? I remember telling my maths teacher it was a total waste of my education time and so far I have proved him right:D Has anyone ever used them??

Latin hasn't come in too useful in my extensive travels either. I haven't even found Latinia.

But I expect you put up with it - not wanting to upset the status quo (not without an alibi anyway), or set a new agenda, (you wouldn't want rebelliousness like that on your curriculum vitae), et cetera.

I learned how to fill up inkwells and change a pen nib. Still waiting for an opportunity to make use of that.

I wonder how much Quink is sold these days

KKOB · « **Reply #8 on:** March 09, 2012, 18:46:15 PM »

Well, according to Quinkipedia

Quink is still the world's biggest selling pen ink in this millennium. According to fountain pen enthusiasts, Parker Quink is generally considered to be so-called "safe fountain pen ink".

Yes, interesting I grant you, but that doesn't answer my question does it

They might sell 5cl a year and be the biggest ink seller
