When I got my hands on my first Smith-Corona H Series Correctable Typewriter, I was in my glory. I was also in control. Then…along came computers and the word-processing phenomenon. Writers were thrilled at the technology: Spell-check, formatting, multiple fonts, save options and mailing options, all at the click of a mouse. But […]
