Let's save the Tale! Calling XMTS' resident writers to save the XMTSAS Saltire

Now why am I picturing all these writers are out there, sitting at their typewriters,...

If they're still using typewriters, chances are we won't be reading their tomes any time soon.
What do you say we move the entire forum back to typewriters and the Postal Services of our various and sundry native lands? We'd all get some cool stamps that way!

Well...and this is coming from a man who has thirteen typewriters...you could always use the typewriter and then scan with optical character recognition software and then paste it into the body of a post...

...oddly enough, I heard a story on the news earlier today about the movement of people away from computer oriented communication and back to hand and type written letters sent through the mails. It was referred to as the counterpart of the "slow food" movement. For those interested:

This sounds like a sort of "exquisite corpse" sort of writing assignment...each chapter being written by a different individual. Could be interesting.
