I don't recall any point in time where I had any interest in fountain pens. I was born well after the time of the fountain pen, and there weren't any relatives in my family that had any special attachments to fountain pens.

And even if you've got a cartridge filler you can just refill the same cartridge indefinitely. I'm pretty sure the cartridge in my rather high mileage Sheaffer Targa which I've been using since high school is the one that originally came in it. I've just refilled it with a syringe about eleven bazillion times in the interim.
