Do you ever think something smlels like the liquid we put in the Mimiograph machine in the high school office? If you used a manual or an early IBM Selectric typewriter with the ball of letters, and know where the stencil setting is, you have typed the master that wrapped around the barrel of that Mimiograph copy machine. I'm new on LinkedIn and just went down memory lane on your list. I remember when I was in a typing pool for a short time at Corroon & Black on Plus Park before WF , (as we called the Willis Faber-Corroon & Black merge). We had the Write word processor on floppy disc and it sounded like you were trying to change gears without engaging the clutch on an old '47 Ford. Then when we progressed to email, word got out that all secretaries were to be eliminated except executives, and each department would have one administrative assistant . The sounds of grumbling were heard all through C&B, Penco and BFAW after those in management faced the cold reality that they were mid and not upper , and should begin preparing to send their own correspondence by email. That was a moment of truth for several men who had to take typing lessons. Oh Dylan, the times they are a changing so fast.
