Now that 'Alexandre' and 'a l e' have stopped having a dose of keyboards at<br>
six paces I agree :<br>

The pen has been around for ages. Yet, a pen has not much to do with DTP and has always seemed to me a bit out of topic or a bit misleading. Typography is not calligraphy. No pen is involved in the work, really. It's also arguable what a "scribe" has to do with DTP but here I find myself more comfortable since the scribe's work was in fact to put down the ideas on paper. From that to layout, I think the link is pretty clear. So, basically I only question the use of the pen. However, I have no fantastik idea on what we could use to replace it. A keyboard would be rather deceptive as well as anything that relates to a computer, a screen, a mouse, etc. No! :-) But a pen?<br>
<br>Anyway, it's only Sunday morning thought. I have no strong feelings about that. But if we are going to have a contest, then I would suggest that we open up the door to suggestions. We could be very well surprised by different angles, different artistic views. And if in the end we choose again the pen, then it's not because we haven’t tried something else! <br>
