Posted on September 29, 2012Don't just throw that pen away!
True Story:
Back around 2001, my wife and I went to Amsterdam. Unfortunately, my wife remembers very little of this trip and that is another story. On the KLM flight home, the flight attendants passed around a brochure of items that you could purchase on the plane, duty free. I had some left over traveler's checks so I figured, why not. I found a Mont Blanc pen on the sheet. I had never had a fountain pen and thought it might be nice. It cost around $100. I still remember, it was called the Traveler, and it stored ink cartridges inside.
IT NEVER WORKED!
Every couple of years, I would find the pen in the drawer, and see if I could get it to work. NOPE. Stupid Pen. Never threw it away. Five years ago, sent to Mont Blanc and they cleaned it and said it worked okay. NOPE! Sigh...forget this stupid pen.
While cleaning out my office last week, I came across the pen again. It had sat in that drawer for at least two years, maybe three. I brought it home. Last night, I had to go to the Apple Store in a ritzy Tampa mall. I remembered there is a Mont Blanc store so I brought the pen and figured maybe THIS time, someone could make it work. Upon bringing the pen in, I was asked if I could leave it for a half hour so they could take a good look and check it out. About an hour later we returned to the store. The woman pulled out the pen and said she cleaned it. You opened it up and cleaned the whole inside, I asked? She looked puzzled. Opened it up?? I said, it stores ink cartridges inside. She said, "Oh...It's a Traveler!" I shook my head in the affirmative. I opened the pen for her and we tried different cartridges and no good. She said I could send it in to repair. Thinking at this point it was hardly worth it, I was contemplating dropping it in the trash...when a sudden urge came over me..."Do you still sell this pen", I asked?
The answer, YES! I asked if they had one and they did. "How much do they sell for", I asked?
Are you Ready?? I SAID...ARE YOU READY??
$770
Guess it's good not to just throw away those old pens!

Posted on August 22, 2012Maintenance update
Dear friends, it has come to our attention that some of our customers became concerned with our latest maintenance continuation and erroneous account status change for a group of our clients. Please find below an official explanation of reasons behind both instances:
1. There is a group of blocked accounts which were erroneously blocked by an automated script that was tested in the beginning of August and apparently has failed to perform properly. Script was designed to automatically secure in account in the event of multiple suspicious login attempts. During this maintenance we have identified the problem, addressed it and it is now being solved.
2. Since we were forced to perform extended maintenance, we saw an opportunity to add some of the additional features that were pending to be added to the website. As the web site appears shortly, you will discover Credit Card Funding option (available ONLY to a verified users), along with other minor improvements and enhancements.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this maintenance may have brought to you and would like to assure you that both issues are addressed in a timely manner and currently being worked on around the clock for the quickest and safest resolution. During this final stage of maintenance we are identifying erroneously blocked accounts and updating their statuses to "normal". This is a long and tedious process so your patience is appreciated. While we are doing everything possible to bring the system back faster, these processes make take an additional up to 2-4 days to complete.
Any other explanation of this maintenance that you may come across online in various online forums is inaccurate or simply put - false and misleading. -
