Like, paying. In stead of using money, in Africa they use prepaid minutes to buy a bread or something.

But have we really reached the point where, even in Africa, using pen and paper is considered bizarre?<br /><br />I will resist evolving into an inforg because the word is so ugly, among many other reasons.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-82380753664450525692013-03-18T20:39:20.318-04:002013-03-18T20:39:20.318-04:00Count me in too!

Looks to be a Nagoya-made Brother, by the label. Handy little machine.
