Quotation of the Day for September 13, 2013
Q: Exactly. Why do you prefer typewriters to computers?
A: Because I don't even know what a computer is. I've heard about them a lot, but I don't own one, and I don't want one to own me. Typewriters you can own. I think a computer owns you.
- Manson Whitlock, typewriter repairman, in an interview with the Yale Daily News. Whitlock died in August 2013, at age 96, but had still been repairing typewriters shortly before his death.
