Once electric typewriters were invented that could keep up it was to late to change back.<br />Who could ever have known that the whole world would someday be typing like mad on their computers.<br />Just a little piece of trivia.<br />Love your blog.<br />BerniceBarbwire Prettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003553550714808268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664224430545967661.post-43670438050027613282012-03-02T11:48:29.038-06:002012-03-02T11:48:29.038-06:00Oh goodness, we have an old one from Joels family ...Oh goodness, we have an old one from Joels family - it's on my desk - I just love it.

When I finally was able to use an electric typewriter I had to ease up on how hard I pressed the keys.
