Joel, I still prefer to write with a fountain pen than with this keyboard. The problem is, of course, that once I've put down one or two hundred pages of beautiful dark flowing lines, I'd just as soon not have to go back and type it out. As a result, I use the computer. It's not as artful, but it certainly saves time. For shorter pieces, especially short stories, I still use a nice pen. I suppose the computer has made the writing process more accessible to people who care nothing for fountain pens, and who would not have gone through the ordeal of completing a long work with a pen and typewriter. Now, I suspect we have more written material partly because it's easier to do write, revise and make pretty. ralph wahlstrom rwahlstr@hp.uwsuper.edu
