Date: 26 Feb 99 07:48:55 EST From: Irving.Weiss-AT-Washcoll.EDU (Irving Weiss) Subject: Re: C-\WINDOWS\TEMP\nsmail1V.jpeg Bill, I composed my 70-odd critical-poems, Visual Voices: The Poem As a Print Object, Runaway Spoon Press http://www.interlog.com/~dal/rasp/ and Wr-eye-tings Scratch pad http://www.burningpress.org/wreyeting/index.html on first a 1950's Underwood and later an electric IBM before I even thought of using a computer and only realized after getting my first Mac 5 yrs ago that I cdnt type one letter over another, turn the paper every which way, type light and dark by key-touch, include erasures as part of the visual-poem scheme, etc. Since then nobody can tell me if there's a program that can do the same, except maybe an expensive Adobe thing, which I won't buy because I'm technically ignorant and clumsy and can't even manage to do tables smoothly on Microsoft Word. It may be like the difference between real sex you have to compromise and make adjustments for between two of you; and drug highs.
