That brings back memories; some carbon paper was hard to use because both sides felt the same. I found some that I could identify the front from the back. It was messy stuff though.

Did you always remember to put the carbon paper in correctly? Even with sight, I put it in backward many times and and had to redo the whole page. For those of you who don't know, if one does that, what you're typing comes out on the back of the page you're typing on and looks like mirror writing.G.cindy --- On Thu, 6/19/08, Lori Castner <loralee.castner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Lori Castner <loralee.castner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: ot early computers To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, June 19, 2008, 6:20 PM Well, I used a manual typewriter all the way through earning my masters degree, and several times I typed on a used up ribbon. After that I typed anything important with carbon paper between two sheets. Mike was interested in computers long before I was and purchased a Kaypro in the mid-eighties. Now, I could not function without a computer. I do have an old electronic typewriter for typing checks and brief notes and labels.
