Let's talk about your poor choice of Pilot Metro instead of a 1960s -80s vintage stainless steel Parker Jotter. I am disappoint, Clint. ;-)
IBM also made a fantastic pencil called the Electrographic, with a soft dark lead developed for the early -scantron- type machines. I have a few of them, but usually they go now for about $10 each. The mechanical pencil lead version is more affordable and just as good.

Classic IBM joke:
Three IBM staffers - a salesman, a hardware engineer, and a software engineer - are out for a drive when the car has a flat tire. -
The salesman says, -We need a new car. --
The hardware engineer says, -Let's swap tires until we figure out which one is flat. --
The software engineer says, -Let's just wait. Maybe the problem will fix itself. -

Man I wish they still made these, that would be such a nice pocket pad to keep on me. I end up just buying those super cheap spiral-bound ones so I can jot down ideas and reminders. Especially since it folds at the top and has no rings, it wouldn't get in the way of my nightmare-ish, claw-like left handed grip I have on my pen.

Mmm. So this device allows for storage of data by interacting with the surface of the media through the usage of a stylus. And you navigate through the data by literally browsing the sheets with your very own hand!
Welcome to 2020, just fascinating.

I got a modern -think pad- notepad when i was working for IBM a year ago before i left. It was nice and had half the pages lined for writing and half dotted for diagrams.
Ended up using mine to plan dungeons for my D&D campaign.

Watched this video, then did some work at IBM in Canada and the front office still had a -think- placard that looked like it was a left over from the 80's on a coffee table and I mentioned watching this video.

The 1950s is probably spot on. the 22 in the New York address is the postal code used for large cities from 1943 to 1963. The five number zip code we use now didn't start until 1963.

Who would have -THOUGHT- that I would find this so interesting in 2020? Your videos are so entertaining, that even something as unassuming as a notepad, can get my attention!
