A History Lesson

[jlg2x]

I stumbled across this old movie the other day and thought it was really interesting. The first part gives a little history of the alphabet. The rest is a brief history of writing instruments, and then it goes into how a fountain pen works. It's a good lesson for a newbie, like myself. So grab some popcorn and a cold drink and enjoy. It's about 22 minutes long.

That was interesting. Kind of like watching the TCM channel.
