These typewriters hadn't been used for 20-30 years and no one wanted them, so three years ago I donated everything to a charity thrift shop and the typewriters promptly disappeared from the store shelf.<BR></DIV>

We can not function without some electronic aid to store our phone numbers, take notes, etc. I wonder how sales of pens and pencils are faring these days.<BR> <BR> Will Underwood do? I can not remember my last machine. It was an electric portable, at least portable at the time it was purchased.<BR> <BR> <BR> --------------------------------------------<BR> On Sun, 10/27/13, Herb Brannon <hrbran@cavtel.net> wrote:<BR> <BR> Subject: Re: [PRCo] Burning Leaves--and Coal<BR> To: "Western PA Trolley discussion" <pittsburgh-railways@mailman.dementix.org><BR> Date: Sunday, October 27, 2013, 8:27 PM<BR> <BR> Keep those Hermes Rockets* and Royal Safaris* at the ready................it may all come crashing down one of these days.<BR> <BR> *Hermes Rocket and Royal Safari=Brands of portable manual typewriter available in the late 1960s,<BR> <BR> <BR> On Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 10:57 PM, PC <pcc_sr@yahoo.com> wrote:<BR> <BR> > This gives a nice thumbnail understanding of internet beginnings doesn't it.<BR> ><BR> > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet<BR> ><BR> > Not military.<BR>
