Try doing this to a computer

Over at the NaNoWriMo 2004′s “NaNo Technology” forum is a discussion thread about typewriters as the writing instrument of choice for this year’s challenge. The following story made me laugh out loud:


My grandmother had a method for freeing up typewriters with sticky keys (apart from the oiling and brushing the lint out business).

She used to take the typewriter off her desk, put it on the floor and give it a smart kick on one side of the typewriter. The sudden sideways shock tends to free up the action.

Try doing that with a computer…
