When my typewriter broke 5 years ago, I grudgingly purchased my first computer at age 53...an ancient used Mac Plus, recommended for low-tech ageing green hippies such as myself. Four computers, 2 scanners, 2 powerbooks and a digital camera later, I STILL have two unused ribbons left over from that ol' Smith-Corona.

If an ol' bear like me can pull this off, imagine what YOU could do for our collective benefit!
