Someone - i believe it was Lori, but mark me corrected - posted randomly about typewriters, on the assumption that with ng activity being what it is, someone would bite. And like an idiot, :) I did. heehee here goes. [maybe i'll actually post helpfully sometime] - ----------------repost------------------------------------------------------ << When I was in college, there weren't any PCs, let alone the Internet. Yep! I typed all my research papers on an instrument that was called "a typewriter." (I think you can find examples of these archaic tools in museums now.) They were contraptions that were used extensively in offices and homes before the early 1980s before they evolved into the IBM Correcting Selectric. The Correcting Selectric was revolutionary because it eliminated the very frustrating and time-consuming chores of "unsticking" the keys and being forced to correct mistakes by either: (a) using a typewriter eraser, which never worked because one inevitably would scrub a hole in the paper, and therefore have to retype the whole thing anyway; or (b) use the correct amount of White-Out to cover the mistake completely, yet not enough to glob up the keys. I cannot tell you how incredibly AMAZING that machine was. It was quickly followed with the "Memory Typewriter." This machine allowed a person to type an ENTIRE LINE OF TEXT (WOW!) on a small screen that could be edited before you hit the "return" key--afterwhich the perfect line of type would print out perfectly. Of course, if you were me back then (and I was,) you were in the habit of hitting the carriage return at the end of each line, so it would be printed with mistakes intact, and I'd just have to retype the whole darn thing anyway. >> Yup, I bit. Although I'm only in my mid-teens, *I too* remember typewriters. I actually got a nice brick red one for my fifth or sixth birthday. It was *not* automatic, in any sense of the word. Whenever I made a mistake, I had to retype the entire page of stuff. I guess I'd never heard of white-out. And my father strictly forbade typewriter erasers, saying they were eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil and generally up to no good. :) So for all you people-who-also-remember-typewriters, they're not that archaic! "They're hip! They're cool! Woohoo!" Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
