My *dear* fellow. I'll have you know that I wrote my undergraduate
thesis using a typewriter. (Something on eudaimonic egoism..., around
1986.) I also created three issues of a quite fancy comics fanzine
called Starlight in 1979 and 1980 -- with hand-justified columns and
some experimental, slanted column layouts, entirely using a
typewriter and hand-spacing to achieve justified columns. (You might
reply that the effect was a mere affectation, but it was still an
effort incomparable to anything post-computer.)
