I recently wrote a blog post titled 'Xbox or PlayStation?' In this I compared this to the Montblanc 149 and Pelikan M1000. Owning a 149 I am now resisting the urge for an M1000... Don't know about you but when in the past I've though about buying a car, ever other car I see seems … Continue reading Resisting the call for a Pelikan M1000!
