Christopher
Latham Sholes(1819-1890) Sholes was a U.S. mechanical engineer who
invented the first practical modern typewriter, patented in 1868. | I've often wondered about how many people in this world know what my real name is? There are
four of you. I've made that same mistake in my past too. That's when I
changed ID's. This Salon neighborhood has been my fourth since 1974. My
God, have blogs been around since 1974? Yes, obviously they have (but
not many).... Continuously growing in population yet. Most of the kids
who are writing them today probably weren't yet born at that time. The
stuff that we all just throw away in the year of 2005 is remarkable to
me. Perhaps astounding those items lost - still in yet another time.
Maybe I'm an old man but I do know that perhaps I've recently lost
myself something that was irreplaceable to me. Maybe some of you don't
even know what this thing in my garbage can is on (on the right)? | 
This electric Corona was sold to any student in 1974. I never used this one. I was a geek. Guess which one I used? |
