Tedd --

That's the kind of gizmo that really could have freed up some time for 
me...I remember going through reams of carbon paper and tubs of 
whiteout and making just a huge mess and having to retype things at 3

Then again I guess the college kids today instead of going to $3 
pitcher nights are all staying in posting profiles on MySpace...??

How computers have changed the world (and the course of our lives!).
