I still have my tools and drafting board from high school class in 1943.
Still use them. At my age the computer programs are tough for me to
comprehend. I also block print instead of curser. A couple weeks ago our
grand daughter, eight years old saw me printing something that had the
number 8. She informed me I did not know how to make an 8. I make it with 2
little circles, same as on the keyboard I am using. She of course uses the
curser as taught in school . Also Bill, I have many years of Popular
Electronics magazines. WW

Small world, my teachers got after me when I was about 8 for not writing
8 the cursive way too. My school shop teachers insisted on block
printing even in things like material lists. If there's a lesson there,
it must be that it's hard to please everyone! By the way, the article I
mentioned earlier was written by Michael Fortune, and I'm no one to
2nd-guess him!

Remember, Grasshoppa, just because someone is writing for a magazine
does not make them a Master, and one way is not the only way. Look at
the vast theoretical and practical differences between the finish
masters Jewitt, Dresdner, and Flexner. Compare Lord Roy and that
plaid-shirted clown with the funny accent. gd&r
