Do you remember...
- The Palmer Method
- red and black ribbons
- Gregg shorthand
- typing erasers with brushes on the end
- the smell of mimeographs
- microfilm and microfiche
- Dictaphones
- elite and pica
- carbon paper
- before fax machines
- wite out
- typing off the paper if you didn't pay attention

I got a kick out of this! I still type somethings at work on an IMB Selectric II typewriter that uses the exact typing ball in your picture. I also learned to do teeline shorthand. I still practise while watching the news!
I remember microfilm from the public library, and White-Out 'cause my mom had it. Other than that...guess I'm too young :)
Not really... eek. My memory's going.
Is it any wonder we didn't die of those mimeograph machine fumes?? By the time I got to doing office work, computers were just starting to show up, signaling the end of that manual-labor office work. The fax machine was a revelation!
