Eh. Eraser marks cost me my A back in 9th grade keyboarding class. I'm less nostalgic.

True. The sound of a keypad doesn't compare. And it doesn't smell like anything, unless you spill your lunch on it.

Yeah, I remember when writing was oily and smelled good. It also made my fingers tired and my wrists hurt. :) But the sound made it almost worth it.

Remember when we could say anything? There was no delete key. We made the same typographical mistakes over and over again. There was no pause for thought. There was no need to pause. Fingers thought. Brains listened.

Writing was hammering, and oily, and smelled good too.
