Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 18, 2019

Try explaining a typewriter. No one types any more. One keyboards – as if that is somehow different.

Trivia for today – Tom Hanks collects and uses typewriters.

What kind of book will Mr. Kitty write (in longhand, apparently)? Probably not science fiction.

Try Russia all their important stuff is hand typed and hand delivered. No internet to be hacked.

I was in the hospital when David Cassidy died. I mentioned that to a nurse. She said ‘who is that?’ I said ‘you know, on the Partridge Family?’ She said ‘What is that?’ I went back to sleep.

Used to re-fill ink cartridges. The average HP60 uses 8 ml of ink (about the size of the end of your pinky) $10 at Costco, A litre costs $25, do the math.

Walmart has Underwood ribbons. Pluggers go to Walmart at least twice a week, no?

Someone on the internet sells them, but you’ll gag on the price.

Definitely a plugger if he is not aware of E-bay or Amazon.

For all the nostalgia, computer writing programs are so superior to the typewriter, one would have to question the competenceof anyone using a typewriter

Amazon

Underwood Typewriters and Ribbons ? Lot’s of Luck,they still make them but Finding Who has them in Stock,probably not so easy. Will they even really know what a Typewriter Is ? They’ll probably think it is some kind of Printer Software !!

These days, what is a typewriter?

Surprise! Typewriters are making a comeback, why???, well there is nostalgia, but it also has security. With typewriters there are no permanent records of what was typed except for the document it’s self, no keyboard capture software can hack a typewriter and no hacker can download it from a computer hard-drive.

But, but, do they have carbon paper?

They keep them on a shelf next to the carbon paper and onion skin.

amazon has it all……
