While ogling an ad for a Sony Vaio this A.M., Colin remarked “We aren’t getting a Sony, though.” No we aren’t I said. We’d already decided. On the anticipated future death of his desktop, we will eventually convert fully to Apple.
I’ve been slowly taking over my husband’s desktop, as my laptop’s letter ‘D’ key has given up the ghost.
Meanwhile, for my next long piece of fiction, I’ll be using my new-to-me manual, 1954 Royal Futura 800 typewriter, purchased on eBay.
“No,” I said this morning, “Let’s just get another typewriter and we’ll be good to go.”
“Yeah,” Colin added, “I just have to figure out how to get the internet connection plugged into the back of typewriter and we’ll be all set.”
Ahh, retro-technology. It’s the wave of the Futura.

And now that the “D” key is working again, we don’t have to buy the Macbook … yet.
I’ve been wanting to tell you… I think the “S” is acting up now. No, seriously!
