I learned to type on an old Royal manual typewriter. There's nothing worse than getting to the bottom of the page and realizing that you left a word out in the 3rd line. It was a beautiful day when I got to use an IBM Selectric. What's this you say? There's BUILT IN correction tape!?! I also sympathize with Asimov. I have flown in my last plane. The panic attacks aren't worth it, and when I can drive 8 hours and get home before the 1 hour flight does, it's time to stop. (No joke, that 1 hour flight leaving Chicago took 9 hours from the time I arrived at the airport to the time I made it to my airport and picked up my baggage. It's a 7 1/2 hour drive.
