Changing a few eords meant a complete rewrite of the chapter. But it was a lot simpler back then, wasn't it? How did we ever survive writing on typewriters?

Change is a little scary at times. Even I, technogeek that I am, wonder what will come next? I'm adventurous at most things, but haven't mustered the energy to check out Twitter. Despite that, I don't go anywhere without my computer and a way to connect to the Internet. It's like some giant umbilical cord to friends, family, news, and everything else that seems so essential! Thanks for sharing, Chris. I had an old Royal typewriter and wrote on hot pink paper that my mom’s office was discarding :lol:

You speak so lovingly of your craft. From the memory of the pretty smelling paper (paper, what's that?) to the pretty sound of the carriage return on your beloved typewritter! You've taken to this aspect of your craft just like all the others - wonderfully. Wow! You speak so lovingly of your craft.

And boy, do I relate. I'm wondering what my grandbabies are going to be teaching me in a couple of years. Nice post, Chris. And boy, do I relate.

Before that I had a pseudo typewriter that only typed capital letters. And I wrote short stories on it and submitted. I cringe now, but at the time I thought it was perfectly fine. I love my computer, love email and recently stuck my toe into the pool of blogging (right here on this very blog), so you're not alone Crissy! And now I have started playing with Twitter. What next? Remember when MTV was new and actually showed music videos? :grin: I had an Olivetti too! Before that I had a pseudo typewriter that only typed capital letters.

I love computers and, most of all, their delete keys. Cut and paste--wonderful. Double-click on some blue underlined words, and I can be anywhere in the Internet world--amazing. Bring it on--just not TOO fast. :lol: I owned one of those Olivetti typewriters, and it was the bane of my existence. I love computers and, most of all, their delete keys. Cut and paste–wonderful.
