I am depressed, too. I bought two fountain pens on e-bay, and they BOTH have Accountant nibs*. (sigh).

* An accountant nib is a nib that's extra-fine and extra-firm, designed for making bookkeeping entries neatly. I was hoping the nibs would be "flexible"--that is, the tines separate under pressure, so you get thicker downstrokes and thinner upstrokes, and your writing goes sorta copperplate and antique-like.
