Dear sitetest,

Snert.

I made some money in college because I had a manual typewriter, which worked when the power was off, which was a lot of the time. If you had a paper due, you’d pay me a per-page fee, plus wine and candles, to get it done during a power failure.

Maybe they’ve fixed the power issue in the last 25 years.

Dear Tax-chick,

Soft pitch. Couldn't resist taking a smack at it. My older son would likely groan for taking the easy hit.

In truth, I worked at a lab with pretty much state=of=the=art minicomputers when I was in college, and we actually had a primitive word processing program.

We also had IBM Selectrics in the lab.

I also had a manual typewrite at home.

And stone tablets with a chisel and a hammer.

I was multi-media.

In which world was your college? First, Second, or Third?

In order for the get paid to type while power off business model to be viable, I'd guess Third. Probably Kenya or somewhere else on the same continent. LOL!
