Well it does make a nice center arrangement.

That is what we use ours for.

How quaint. So then, word has not yet reached the architectural community that Avery and various other knockoff brands have been selling sheets of die-cut mailing labels for use in printers for the last twenty years or so? Also, there are these cunning little single-label printers you can get for around $40 if business is slow. Of course, they don't work unless you hook them up to a computer.

A fat lot computers help if there is no power (as in power outage). Even though I consider an UPS as an intergral part most ppl don't. Even if you got a UPS on the setup, most ppl don't hook up their printers to it as it is generally non-essential. I got an old typewriter in my office, really just taking up space, but it is there if the need arises...

I'm having trouble visualizing people sitting in the dark pounding away on typewriters, at least where I work. If the power goes out, we pretty much clear the building, and if it looks like it won't be restored quickly, we go home.

lol, yeah Gully, thx for reminding me.

Before I got a computer at home, my parents taught me how to type on their type writer. When we finally did get a computer (pentium 186 as I recall...) I still preferred to write on the typewriter, i much prefer the feeling and sound of typewriters, even though I can type 10x faster on a computer (plus this little backspace tool is great!)
Thanks for the model!

Your computer has a backspace feature?! o_O
Just messing with you, also one of the things I appreciate most about working on a computer, the backspace and undo / redo functions rate amongst the highest with me.

I don't see a need for the Backspace/Undo/Redo as I never make a mistake

ORLY?!
If you say so...
