Lewis, Mrs. Moon beat me to the punch when she spotted the image of a typewriter. "That's an Underwood, isn't it?" She says.<BR/>She doesn't even LIKE typewriters!<BR/>(But, yeah, it was an Underwood.)Duffy Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105074089216551597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-7219136774678817042008-07-09T14:12:00.000-07:002008-07-09T14:12:00.000-07:00Thanks for the tips!

Got a question: how do you get the scanned typewritten pages so dark? Mine never look that good even with a new ribbon. And do you scan OCR or just regular mode? <BR/><BR/>Finally, I also belong to a small, but rabid band of double-edged (DE) razor collectors--and users. And we also play "name that razor" in old movies. Collector madness knows no bounds.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Paul<BR/><A HREF="http://www.badgerandblade.com" REL="nofollow">www.badgerandblade.com</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
