DrWho42 13 Posted September 17, 2004 Just curious... Anyone else owns pocket protectors? :P I got some new ones from Staples.. :wacko: They didn't have the proper items needed to supply my fountain pen with new ink though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted September 17, 2004 Who, I really worry about you sometimes. Not only do you own a pocket protector but you ADMIT that you own a pocket protector! I work with a staff of about 50 research engineers, and believe me they are all geeks. Not one of them owns a pocket protector. Heck, I didn't even know they still made them!

krysis 2 Posted September 21, 2004 So that is what a pocket protector looks like. I've never seen one for real before. Besides, I never bother carrying a pen. Its better to borrow them from your colleagues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fenriz275 0 Posted September 23, 2004 You people are all amateurs. Nuts to pocket protectors. I carry all my pens, pencils, erasers, X-acto knives, india ink, tape, pastels, and all kinds of other goodies in a nifty box. Down with pocket protectors! Carry a box! Besides, if you want to carry a decent selection you'll never fit them all into a pocket. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BakulaBabe 2 Posted September 23, 2004 I've had several over the years. They were very handy at work when our work "uniform" was a blue apron with pockets. Leaking pens always left ugly stains, unless you used a pocket protector, like I did. :) Now that we wear black vests with pockets, leaking pen stains aren't visible, so I don't need the protectors anymore. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrWho42 13 Posted October 14, 2004 Besides, if you want to carry a decent selection you'll never fit them all into a pocket. :P265739[/snapback] Yeah, a box is cool, but there's a place where you can keep your pens in your shirt pocket. And keep the rest of your writing instruments elsewhere (like in a neat box). :( Oh, and some girl said that more high schoolers (of the non-geek and non-nerd parties at my high school) are thinking that pocket-protectors are cool. And there seems rather substantial evidence to support her claim.. ...:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
