Someone on here a few years ago used 'speach to text' software to reply. Drove me crazy reading it.

So I thought I’d try speech to text on here. Looks like it’s working pretty good. On the iPad, just Hit the Mike on the keyboard. Guess I should’ve said microphone instead of Mike!

The person I was referring to went on long winded diatribes.

No Hebrew characters🤔

 

There were several with Hebrew characters, but I've sold the Selectric + balls when we were relocated to Belgium (1980). Those two were "doubles".

 

When we came back (1985), word processors were on the market.

 

I started with Wang, which was awesome.

1973 -- IBM's Selectric -- such a huge improvement !! I'm still keeping 2 balls 😁

 

 

It got even more exciting when they came out with the Correcting Selectric.  Unlike using Ko-Rec-Type to cover up mistakes, the typewriter had a little spool of special tape that lifted the unwanted letters right off the paper.

dang duplicate 🙂

Apparently the TSOD 3 years ago was Sloppy Joe's 

 

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego🤔

Wang was the whole computer, not just the "language", like Word Perfect.

 

It had a "copy" button, a "move" button, etc., but in terms of "language", Word Perfect was more advanced.

 

We had the additional and ever lasting complication of switching "directions" -- since Hebrew is written from right to left.... A huge headache for the IT team 😉

I would definitely not assume something with that name was referring to a word processor.

I believe we have just under 1000.  Empty elevators are awesome!  It just seems sad that the casino is pretty empty.
