Well....I dunno. Either is still more, uh, "practical" than rolling some
bond paper and carbon paper sheets into the platen of an old Underwood or
Royal
manual typewriter, which to me is more nearly the equivalent of that "100
year old car" of which you speak. Lots of effort and care involved in that
typing...as with driving that old a car. ;-)
