When I graduated from high school in 1979, I received a manual typewriter from my parents as a graduation gift. It served me for my college years, but became a relic after graduation. For the past 15+ years, it has sat quietly in my garage gathering dust -- but I just can't throw it away as it was a gift from Mom and Dad. A few months ago, my 9 year old niece was visiting. I opened up the typewriter case to show it to her. She had no idea what it was or what it was used for. And I felt old.
