I use it for all of my statements and most of my correspondence.  At the moment, I could not use my computer if I wanted to because the printer is off line and I don't know what's wrong with it.  I have to wait for my son to visit to get it working again at which time I'll remind him that "the old typewriter" has never quit.</blockquote> Sorry to ask... but I just couldnt resist... Your typewriter doesnt happen to be a Betsy Ross Model does it... ? sniker :) <blockquote TYPE=CITE>  Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin <a href="http://www.billbremmer.com/">Click here: -=w w w . b i l l b r e m m e r . c o m =-</a></blockquote>     -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
