Remember This?

Alison is taking one of these to college tomorrow. its got lots of memory, spell checking, a camera, and real go power. You can carry it with one hand and it fits in a tote bag.



Anybody remember the upright typerwriter.?




My love affair with the typewriter began with a Royal Upright that sat on my grandfather's desk in his office. It was completely off limits to young grandchildren.

The first time I noticed it I was probably about five years old. It was irrestible to me. I would slip into his office and tap those keys any chance I got. Before I could read I was fascinated by seeing small black letters appear on white paper.


That is still true.
