[Antihistorical note: On September 23rd, 1992,
the L.A. Times ran the following bit of filler:

    Solomon Waters of Altadena, a 6-year-old first-grader, came home
from his first day of school and excitedly told his mother how
he had written on "a machine that looks like a computer --
but without the TV screen." She asked him if it could have been a
 "typewriter." "Yeah! Yeah!" he said. "That's what it was called."
