Far out. :-)
I think that's actually pretty cool. I'm a closet luddite too. Having grown up in accounting during the days of pencils, five-column paper and green eye-shades, I've never been convinced that computers and software ended up doing us any real favors. But don't tell anybody I work for. :-)
[sigh]
There's a SOX thread I'm trying to avoid for the moment. I've written a reply or two that I've already had to just abandon because I devolved into usage of something less than the Queen's english.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

Dammit. :-)
It's fascinating to me that that piece of technology which is, at a guess, forty years old or thereabouts...still does *exactly* what it was meant to do. That in spite of the fact that it's probably been twenty years since anyone used it much. Just needed a little elbow grease.
Whereas...this computer will be on a dustheap in probably less than ten years.
We live in a high-speed disposable world, and though I love the Internet and all...well, I like having a few old things from a slower time. ;-) Hence my fountain pens, and now this old beater of a typewriter.
So...SOX wars, huh? I'll have to go spy...
