We were talking about typewriters before one of the chats (as in the chat before the chat) and reminiscing about IBM selectrics. And when I spoke to a friend about it, she told me of this adorable children's book that was quite successful despite the fact that it is about typewriters which a lot of children today don't know much about, if at all. (It contains other amusing animal tales and is available at amazon.com). Apparently the farmer is quite upset at the noise the cows are making from typing all day! I think the cover is adorable and what a great book idea.
Anyhow, thanks to everyone for sharing their hard earned knowledge with me and for your kind and warm welcome.

"Click Clack Moo" was a favorite bedtime story around here for quite some time.
If you think typewriters are obsolete try showing a kid a rotary telephone!
Rotary phones!! Oh I loved the turquoise ones :)
