I found this post searching google for words such as space pen stuck :) I have the same problem. I love my pen and I hate that this is happening. If you figured out how to get it unstuck, do you mind sharing?

Thanks.

J

Man that’s a bargain by any standards.

I assume you can see my email address since I had to provide it to comment so ping me and I’ll give you my street address.

Thanks! Somewhere, for some reason I ended up signing up for that gravatar thing that you mentioned a while back but I ignored at the time because it was more effort that I could be arsed with. I was aimlessly surfing a while back and came across that on a t-shirt (would have bought one too but their stupid online shop didn’t work). It made me laugh and in light of recent events it’s just so appropriate.

I like the new avatar BTW.

I’m sure I could twist them apart.

What do you mean you don’t have a lathe?

Yeah, yeah, I know, if all else fails, read the manual. But you’re in IT, so you should know better than that.

Could it be to do with the internal ROM? Like when the ink supply depletes, it triggers an internal mechanism that fuses the cap to the body?

Might need a firmware upgrade. Ring the help desk, see what they say.

If you have inadvertantly misplaced or lost your manual, try and get a hold of copy of “Space Pens for Dummies”

And Ray, hello, are you still awake, waiting? Now that I have this back on topic, kindly leave it there or we’ll all chip in for Bron to deal you out, you Bright smut.

Wah: Great show, great line, urban legend.
