The Zenkit suite may do what you want. I started using it when M$ applied E3 to Wunderlist

I’ve said before, and I’ll say again: The next time they try to secede, LET THEM GO!

IOW, capitalism functioning as intended.

Those records are already protected by HIPAA, aren’t they? And Texas state courts have no jurisdiction outside the state of Texas. What’s he trying to do? Remind independents and moderate Republicans to vote for Harris?

To answer the question, I very much prefer fountain pens. They're much more economical in the long run, they write smoother and are less prone to clogging, and the different inks are just fun.

To the point about carbons: Not many situations require carbon copies these days. For those that do, you can usually pick up a vintage (not a modern) Esterbrook for a reasonable price and replace the nib. Esterbrook had a couple dozen different nibs, some specifically hardened for writing carbon copies. They're also fairly easy to find.

There may be some modern pens that are good for writing carbons. Check Goulet Pens or some of the other online sellers.

NB: If you go for an Esterbrook, definitely look for the antiques. They may require a bit of maintenance, but they still write beautifully. The modern ones are made by some outfit that purchased the company name for overpriced branding, but they have no connection to the originals.

I wasn’t aware that they’re now a nonprofit. What do they spend money on?

Do a thing because it’s the right thing to do. Or don’t. But using -isms to justify a controversial position makes my teeth hurt.

I admit that I have all alerts deactivated for the simple reason that our local agencies can’t seem to use SAME codes and I get tired of waking in the middle of the night for a thunderstorm three counties over.

If only he had found religion instead of founding a for-profit, he’d be riding high and no one would care.
