They stopped making my favorite pen....

[poltr1]

A couple of weeks ago, I was at OfficeMax, looking to buy a box of 12 Uniball Roller pens. Those ar the ones with the plain black barrel. They didn't have any in stock. I suspect they've been discontinued by the manufacturer. That's a shame, since I've been using those pens for nearly 20 years. Instead, they had the Uniball Vision, which are OK in my opinion, but not exactly my style. I settled on a 3-pack of Uniball JetStream pens, which look and feel nice in my hand.

I hope these will last me for a while.

I've also noticed that the regular Uniball Roller pens dry up after years of disuse, even if I store them upside down. Perhaps that's why they were discontinued.
