Like Will, I noticed a number of really good pens sat in a drawer recently. Mostly gifts, including a few Parkers, a Waterman from my eldest son and a Mont Blanc the first Mrs Musket bought me.

Sadly, I don't get to use them..

However, I do write as such. I bought a Livescribe a few years ago, and with the special paper and microphone built into it, it records what you write and hear. If you then point your mouse at the text at any point once uploaded, it plays what the microphone hears at that point. Excellent for making notes in meetings or, when I was regulating hospitals, interviews with staff that went into inspection reports. It was approved for contemporaneous notes if you kept the originals but the audio wouldn't be admissible as evidence for PACE interviews under caution.

My handwriting? Awful. But not the worst in the house, being married to a doctor.. (I published (with others) a paper on patient safety that tagged the decrease in bad dispensing of prescription medicines with the advent of paperless prescribing. I took great pleasure in sending Mrs Musket a copy, which she scrawled something illegible on and gave it me back.
