Quote:Seriously, have you every tried to use a typewriter?
I got one for my sixth birthday, which was completely manual and of an ugly blue color, and later, an Brother word processor. I learned how to use them, and if you become proficient, it's not very difficult at all. I wrote stories, and typed written assignments and reports whenever typing was permitted. I learned how to set a manual format, and a kid who annually won spelling bees rarely had trouble spelling words corecktlee.
And, the cost of a PC, especially fifteen years ago, could get you a typewriter and a nearly-limitless supply of ribbon.
That's not to say I'd ever go back if given the choice. PC word processing software is far more convenient and capable, but that was the whole point of the analogy.
