That is so neat that they typed to each other. <br /><br />I do have a peeve with the anchor and all those out there who think ribbons are hard to find. I guess they never go on line. <br /><br />I also agree with Richard. People over use technology. I ask them what technology and seldom do they know an inkling about anything technical -- they think it means a computer! <br /><br />I do like that typewriters and typing are getting noticed thoug.<br /><br />I do not know how you find all you find, but even Mrs. especially likes this post: she's from Iowa.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-2646949731701016802014-03-12T08:36:27.452+11:002014-03-12T08:36:27.452+11:00Thank you Richard and Joe for your comments.
When ...Thank you Richard and Joe for your comments.<br />When Richard mentioned "pet peeve" I thought he was going to talk about the exclamation mark. Like you, Joe, I also noted that jumbled up explanation. I think the old news reader got confused. Many keyboards have a colon but not a semi-colon, and that is how you make a semi-colon. The exclamation mark is apostrophe, back-space, full-point. I also noted the comment on ribbons, which even here are readily available.Robert Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366507489948676594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-68436632120637160662014-03-12T08:18:02.872+11:002014-03-12T08:18:02.872+11:00Thank you for posting this, Robert.

I especially liked the young couple who dated via typed letters.<br /><br />As for my pet peeves, there's the comment about ribbons being hard to find (Okidata printer ribbons at Staples will do in a pinch). And the one at the end on how to make an exclamation mark, he should have said apostrophe instead of comma. Anywho, I should be more grateful for any mention of typewriters in the media.Joe Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679530650280030752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-60704610415752456862014-03-12T02:50:27.280+11:002014-03-12T02:50:27.280+11:00Good story!
