[Cialug] Nakamoto: Double Spacer

[murraymckee at wellsfargo.com]

I used an old Underwood manual typewriter when I was growing up.

They were still using manual typewriters in high school when I took typing.  There were two or three electrics available, but those were used by girls who expected to be secretaries for the rest of their lives.  I was only allowed to look at them.  It was one of the most valuable classes I took.  And no that wasn't because there were 24 girls and me in the class.

Yes, I am. I'm and old guy too.

I learned to type on a Royal manual typewriter in the early 80's and used to put two spaces after a period. I got over that, though.
