Exactly. I once turned in a four page essay that was illegible because there was no ribbon in my typewriter.
Yuck. The pages felt fine (with all the dots (periods) in the right places. Just no ink. ----- Original Message ----- From: "siss52" <siss52@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Bob,

I remember it, and also remember how much more difficult it was to correct
errors on a manual typewriter. If you really goofed, you had to start over.

If anyone besides me can remember this, you'll identify with it.
There's nothing more painful than typing on a clunky manual typewriter on a 
cold winter's day.

I do the same and have decided that computer keyboards are simply not like
electric typewriters in that they have a tendency to sneak in extra letters 
that our finger grazes over without realizing it.  Jill

I spell fine. I type fast. So I make typos unless I check things over.
