yep. I have a neato looking 3 in 1 stylus/pen/pencil that's pretty slim, which I use as a .5mm pencil, but it looks like a pen :D

Talk about a psychological insight. Never thought of it like that...

Ion pen from Cross. Amazing
Zebra pens are good too as well as pilot Vball grip.

It just depends on what I'm doing. If I know I'm going to be needing to erase things (math) then I use pencil, else I use pen. :)

I'm used to using pencil since I'm an engineering student and trying to solve problems with pen is not a good idea. I'll only use pen for stuff like signing credit card receipts, writing checks, filling out official forms, etc. I also have better penmanship with pencil and since I'm left handed, I tend to smear the writing when I use a pen.

Keyboard... last resort... Stylus. :D



Oh and I prefer a pen if I was given a choice between the two.

Depends on what I'm doing. For homework-type things, I use pencil for obvious reasons. For class notes and related things I use pen since it's easier to read later on.

pen because it's easier to see and more permanent. pencil writing gets smudged.

except on tests and quizes etc where space is precious

My wife and I were just discussing my preference in pens this morning.
I like fine points with black ink. I can't hardly stand to use a medium point pen, much less one with blue ink. :D
