I also think of all those times and hours I spent using a manual typewriter (and even had calluses on my finger tips to prove it). I wonder whether anyone uses those machines any more!YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-63739479258092217332017-01-24T02:10:19.465+08:002017-01-24T02:10:19.465+08:00Hi ytsl,

And for the record: I'm talking here about the boxes one puts mail in to get delivered, rather than the boxes one gets one's mail in -- though, actually, it also tends to be so in that case that the older ones look more YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-4042795166795422082017-01-19T00:52:06.312+08:002017-01-19T00:52:06.312+08:00Our postal boxes haven't change much.
