<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2482478, member: 19463&quot;]Our family visited a small, county museum that had a very nice exhibit on the old days.&nbsp; Included among the displays was a typewriter exactly like the one my wife used in college in the 1960&#039;s.&nbsp; My grandson thought the exhibit was interesting since it showed so many things that he had never seen.&nbsp; We found the exhibit a bit less interesting and a bit too much like things in our attic.&nbsp; At 14, he had a nice visit with his 102 y.o. great-grandmother who showed him treasures from her past including many things he had not experienced.&nbsp; There were boxes of post cards with 2 cents postage on them.&nbsp; The space for writing on them is very similar to the limits for Twitter but some of us could write small and get twice as much in for our two cents.&nbsp; She has trouble understanding why he does not want one of the pocket knives left over from before I was born (carrying one to school would get him expelled these days).&nbsp; She also had white-out; I still own part of a box of Corrasable Bond paper.&nbsp; Time flies.&nbsp; We get the same thing here when we find people who define ancients as coins before they were born.&nbsp; Some things I do not miss.&nbsp; Manual typewriters are on that list.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
