Fun for a day (if that!)...but no more!

Post by Rudi »

I'm sure the persons in that era would have LOVED an iPod to drown out the clattering, but for this generation...that sound would be a disturbing irritation.
Not sure who can up with this idea...but it's probably not one of their recent best!!!!

I'd be able to work more productively with Bon Jovi playing out loud!

I used to like the "clicky" IBM keyboards, but I haven't used one in so long that it would probably drive me nuts now. I understand they're getting harder to find.

Yep...read about that but not bothered to download and see...
At least this is a singular app which you can control (and even delete) when the nostalgia runs out. But to be subjected to a cacophony on typewriters played over audio....ARGH :flee:
