Water Cooler Chatter

How many remember the typewriter With it's clickety clack sound For those that do you can never forget That sound so familiar To every office before computers A sound so remenicent So nostalgic to those who remember Those long lost days from another era Unless you lived through them They are sounds gone by Never to be heard again in todays High tech world of instant commincation The chatter beside the water cooler Something is sadly missing

And the distinctive pause in the clatter as the carriage returned to the sound of a bell. Man, I guess we are getting old!

Lol, okay, I’m a spring chicken at 60, but my first job, I remember when they were excited to get the IBM selectrix with the type ahead buffering and those small silver balls that had the typeset on them.
