### I can match you on that one: I learned to type on a manual
typewriter, owned by my father by special dispensation of the United
Polish Communist Worker Party in the late 70's.

Now beat this: I have helped my mother wring laundry using a
hand-crank operated mangle attached to the non-automatic washing
machine we had in the early 70's.
