On the other hand, if there is no real purpose - why develop the skill? How many of us are competent with driving a 4-in-hand team of horses? Or what is the value of knowing how to start a car with a carburetor? Conversely, are you any better than me with the tiny, no-tactile keyboard on a 'phone? It wouldn't take much to be better than me! Meaning the skill of using a tiny keyboard is much more practical than writing with a quill and ink well. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
