His Nibs.com update -- DUKE triple threat

Hello all!

DUKE Earl

I'm not sure how any of you survived without an update last weekend,
but there was a reason (I'm omitting the word 'good'). I've always been
scrupulous about having the latest, updated firewall and anti-virus
software protecting my system, and have subsequently never had a
problems from outside influences. In that vein, I decided to upgrade
to the latest version of Norton Internet Security when my current
anti-virus update subscription expired, about 10 days ago.

To make a long and gruesome story palatable, let's just say that the
software 'ate' my computer! I've now become an expert in discerning
the accents of at least 12 Indian dialects, as I spent most of the past
week talking to various call centers in India, trying various 'surefire
fixes', each of which caused further damage.

I'm now working half on the old system, and half on a new one, and
that situation will continue until everything is successfully transferred
and I can reformat the old, and once again let it gain entry to my network.

Anyway, I don't believe I lost anything -- other than countless hours and
much of my patience -- but please bear with me if new orders today don't go
out until Tuesday.

Now, to pens! Let me mention one re-stocking item first, although I believe
I've notified everyone on the waiting list, and that is that the Parafernalia
Revolution fountain pen is now back-in-stock:

I have three new models to present from DUKE, but this is
a bit of a tease, as I've only been able to obtain a couple of each model, and
with the exception of the 'Earl', I'm not yet sure how quickly my supplier will
be able to get more. So, if you see one that you like...please order immediately
to avoid disappointment. If you miss out, I'll of course be happy to add you to
the waiting list.

Let's start with the aforementioned Earl (and no, I can't get the tune to 'Duke
of Earl' out of my head either). As usual, please follow the links provided underneath
the photos to go to the appropriate webpage for pricing and further information.
