    "Ink goes dry after 25 mins." The good news is that it is easy to restart mid point. Change pens, recheck Z, go to line #, print away. Have fun. Russ

    I have had people ask about if the holder can hold any other pens.
    The standard holds has an ID of .5", the hole for the tip is .25" and the bore depth is 3.125" (which hold a mini share very nice). that being started we can change the ID's and depth to fit any size pen.

    We are still working on the payment method but should be able to ship a few out within the next 30 days.

    I don't understand why publicly funded schools feel they have the need or the right to compete with private industry for customer dollars. Training young people to have skills and an entrepenuerial spirit are lofty goals and I applaud them, but next they will be selling signs and furniture and whatever in the name of fundraising or community spirit and I can't agree with that.

    Our schools are so poorly funded that the kids have to pay for pencils and paper. There are machines in the lobby. They have to pay for supplies for anything they do, even in art class. Sports cost a fortune.
    If the shop can raise enough money to afford to pay for supplies or to buy a machine, more power to them. If they learn how to make and sell products in the process, that's priceless. Imagine coming out of high school with the ability to put food on the table!

    Our schools are poorly funded also, and yet not for a lack of taxes collected. Maybe there is something else we should be teaching our students. Selling things for $25.00 that are worth twice that amount in the real world is not the kind of lessons I want my kids to learn. Bob
