I've had my current one for years. Better yet, it's also a pen (turn once for the pencil, turn again for the pen), so it's actually my only writing implement. :-) Carla, I love mechanical pencils too, for the same reason.

By the way I adore my mechanical pencils. I hate the way traditional wood and lead (graphite, really) go dull after a few lines of writing and you can now replace both the leads and erasers in the mechanicals, making them last for years! The only way I will give one up is if it gets lost. Awwwww… you have to put it off.

I downloaded it earlier this week, expecting to breeze through the returns. Imagine my dismay when I reached the most difficult of forms, and the program said something to the effect of, "We're going to do something different now. Instead of answering interview questions, open up this form and fill it in by hand. Click Finished when you're ready to move on." ?!?! After a few choice "gosh darns" ;-), I picked up the aforementioned pencil and got to work. HOURS later, my lack of lead (and other pencils) gave me a most welcome reprieve. :-) Jeff, I wouldn’t dream of attempting my first year of expat taxes without software!
