What Is Your Favorite Computer Font To Use?



As of right now my favorite computer font is comic sans ms! I like this font because it kind of looks like a handwritten font.

In fact, if you're not familiar with the comic sans ms font then

This is what the comic sans font looks like!

I'm also looking for a free version of the Phyllis font - which I had at one time but don't have it now. I have been looking online for it but so far - no luck!

Do You Still Have And/Or Use A Typewriter?

I had a client who wanted me to type up their resume but at this particular time I had ran out of ink cartridges for my printer! - Yikes!

so I decided that since I still had two typewriters in the house I decided to type up the resume on one of them!

Well the first typewriter I hadn't used in ages! But it was still sitting on one of the desks so I decided to open it and try it out to see if it was still working. Well there was a ribbon already on it and I decided to test it but none of the type showed through! OK no problem because I had another ribbon still in its original packing and unused - so I replaced the typewriter ribbon. Even with the replacement ribbon the type still wouldn't show through.

Ok no problem I'll try the othertypewriter that was even older and hadn't been used in probably years! Well guess what? That typewriter still worked however the type that came out was so light that it was virtually useless!

So what is the lesson that I learned from this? To always have ink cartridges for my printer! - LOL!

Update


May 2011!

Working From Home! - Rose's Blog: "Life In A Typewriter Shop": "I found this very interesting blog online about a guy who works at a typewriting shop. It's so great to see that with all the computer technology around that there is still a demand for typewriters and typewriter repair..."

How Do You Feel About The Changes That AOL Is Making?



Actually this is a good place to ask this question!

I thought about it after reading some of the message boards on AOL (As a matter of fact I'm wondering how long AOL is going to keep the message boards!????????????)

I have been an AOL member for a long time - since the year 2000 at least!

I really didn't start to like them when they cancelled the access to the Usenet newsgroups!

But I let that go! But now with all the things that AOL is getting rid of - especially the member pages and journals! - I'm wondering how long they expect their subscribers to put up with it?

I had a lot of pages on my AOL member pages and transferring those pages is going to take some time!

Judging from the message boards on AOL I can see that a lot of people are upset about the latest things that AOL is getting rid of - so how do YOU feel about the changes on AOL?

Where Did You Transfer Your AOL Journal To?



Now that AOL has discontinued their journals, where have you transferred your own journal to?

As you can see mine has moved over to Blogger.com.
