      From: le@lekno.ws              Unlike Stephen King and the late Peter David,       since childhood I have always preferred and       insisted upon erasable typing paper,which as       far as I can tell is no longer manufactured.              I actually signed up to buy through Ebay (I       decline to use their stylized anomalous capitalization)       in order to get some,and after delivery hiccups       caused by their database thinking they knew better       than I do what my ZIP+4 is based on the address       variant I tried to use,I have now taken possession       of over a thousand sheets after having just about       run out.              The sheets themselves may be fifty years old,       though the packages I got are mostly never-opened;       they say they are from the Eaton Paper division of       Textron,and Textron bought Eaton's then-parent Gorham       in 1967 and renamed the division Sheaffer Eaton when       they bought the Sheaffer pen company in 1976.              (Some other packages available online are attributed       to Sheaffer Eaton,and the Eaton paper factory in       Pittsfield was shut just before Textron sold Sheaffer       Eaton to Gefinor in 1987,which has since sold it in       pieces).              Now I can use my typewriter and know I can erase       mistakes again!!              -=-=-       The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,       at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
