    Does anyone else miss the old type writers? Because I sure do.
    I do!!

    I even miss separating the letters because I'd type too fast.

      I actually had a guy ask me this week if he could buy a voice-command typewriter.
      Actually you can get one.... kinda. Mac OSX has "Speech recognition" available in the System Preferences (it's a sub-menu of Speech). I don't know how well it works though cos it's not a function I use.

        Most OSs have some kind of speech recognition built in (heck, my web browser has speech recognition), and you can buy the software seperately for ages now (I think Dragon Naturally Speaking was the first. Or at least the first I heard of.), but as pointed out, that's not really a typewriter.

          I still have mine. You want manual or electric?

          The biggest problem I have is finding ribbons.
          Either or. You can sometimes get Office Depot to special order the ribbons for you. I think I still have a box of ribbons from my old Brother Electric Typewriter.

            I'd love to have a voice activated typer for me. It would make writing my book so much easier. Ah well.

              Peoples peoples... only Star Trek isn't real.

              The rest is all true!

              The USAF just uses 'plausible deniability'. Didn't you see that episode???

                    can I sneak in with you? I've always wanted to go through a Stargate

                      Sure I could use the help! I don't think I can get past all the airman by myself.

                        I want a ride in the TARDIS. That is all I want from a Sci-Fi world.
                        Low lie the Fields of Athenry/ Where once we watched the small free birds fly/ Our love was on the wing/ we had dreams and songs to sing/ It's so lonely around the Fields of Athenry

                          That's it? Geez, I've got grander ambitions. The least of what I'd want is a battlemech. Going upwards we'd go to Veritech, then a version of the Millenium Falcon, the Katana Dreadnought Fleet, a Stargate.

                            Only that? ONLY that? what do you mean ONLY that? First, the tardis kicks the butt of all other spaceships ever done. A Dreadnought is a toy compared to the tardis' capabilities.

                            Plus, the tardis is almost like a cornucopia. Wathever you want, you can go anywhere in space and time to get it!!! heck!

                            Myself... My biggest dream would be a spot in the tardis.... with capt. Jack in it....

                              I mean, they didn't ask for ownership. They asked for *A* ride. I figure I want something awe-inspiring, or really flashy, and I wanna *own* it.
