The only problem I found with the Cross multi-functions pen is that they
only come with one end cap. So, with a DigitalWriter that has a stylus at
one end and a pen at the other end, you always end up with some problem. You
keep the cap on the pen side to protect from stains, then your stylus is
unprotected. You keep the cap on the stylus to protect it, then the pen size
will mess up everything it touches...

candygrammar n.: A programming-language grammar that is mostly syntactic
sugar; the term is also a play on `candygram'. COBOL, Apple's Hypertalk
language, and a lot of the so-called `4GL' database languages share this
property. The usual intent of such designs is that they be as English-like
as possible, on the theory that they will then be easier for unskilled
people to program. This intention comes to grief on the reality that syntax
isn't what makes programming hard; it's the mental effort and organization
required to specify an algorithm precisely that costs. Thus the invariable
result is that `candygrammar' languages are just as difficult to program in
as terser ones, and far more painful for the experienced hacker.
