Yay

1) I may be writing an article on the perl debugger for beginners; more on that if it goes ahead.

2) the chocolate-chip peanut-butter cookies I made last night are better on the second day than the first.

3) First appearances can be deceiving. Just because somebody sends me a photocopy of a document that looks like it came straight from an Underwood typewriter, does not mean I can assume anything about the sophistication of the sender. (Taking another look, I'm pretty sure it is an Underwood...)

not that bad

[(Anonymous)]

[fishbot]: I have one, it's a "portable", which means that it is just slightly smaller and lighter than a modern CPU tower. But it has a handle on the case. I use it only for poetry, which is to say, not that often (3-5 times a year). We have a much lighter Brother typewriter from the late 1960s that is a lot more practical for travel, and a tad easier on the wrists.

The image of a "portable" Underwood boggles my mind.

Still, given its longitevity, a portable Underwood seems more useful than an Osbourne "portable" computer with its 4-inch screen and 5.25-in. dual floppy...
