Given the horrible grammar and spelling issues that computers allow people to get away with.....

Can you imagine the depths of incomprehensibility the output of people dependent upon computers that are forced to use non-correcting typewriters will sink?

Typewriters are fine. For secure communication, you need codes and ciphers. Some libraries shelve my book on cryptography, _The Code Book_ (Loompanics, 1979, 1984). http://necessaryfacts.blogspot.com/2013/... It is pretty easy to make an unbreakable code. It is impossible to make an unbreakable cipher. No one who has not broken codes and ciphers should think that they can make a secure one.

Back in the 70s and 80s, _The Libertarian Connection_ was mailed out every six weeks. We sent in our work. They collated it, and sent it out. Each subscriber submitted two pages free with the subscription. After that you bought pages for $1 each. Originally, we sent our pages as mimeograph stencils. Later, they went to photocopy. Among the writers were Robert Poole, Jr., Tibor Machan, Sharon Presley, and Murray N. Rothbard. Many people used aliases: The Wolverine, The Friendly Falcon, Aragorn Beowulf, etc.

I have two typewriters: a Smith Corona portable that a publisher gave me; and a IBM Selectric that I rescued from a sidewalk. Later today, I will mail a letter that my wife wrote by hand.

When I goto the post office, I always ask for the latest commemoratives. ("Regular" stamps are called "definitives." If the clerk know what you mean, they, too, are a philatelist.)

I remember using carbon paper with my theatre students - they were entranced! "You mean it makes a copy - right now?"
the world never ceases to amaze me - and that's a good thing.
