Approximate conversation with my daughter:
Her: I have a form for my divorce proceeding that has to be typed. Can you scan it in for me?
Me: Well, I'm not absolutely certain I have the right software to manipulate it after we scan it in. Can't you ask someone to let you use their typewriter?
Her; The lawyer can't believe I don't own a typewriter.
Me: [gapes]
Her: No one I know owns a typewriter any more. We all have computers. The lawyer demands I make an appointment to get it typed.
Me: [gapes] to USE her computer??????????????????????
Her: yup
Me: Call the library. Surely they have one you can use. Or will have a suggestion where you can find one. Otherwise bring the form on Friday and we'll try to get it to work with my scanner and computer.
------
Me: What the hell is wrong with these people? They haven't figured out that typewriters have long since gone the way of the dinosaur except for a few offices which have no one with any sense in them????
