If he's an older fella he'll likely need some hand-holding for starting a blog, but I'm sure you can guide him to the starting line. I have to say that the past two years have been pretty amazing in the hookups and growth in the Typosphere - I feel lucky to have entered right when this growth spurt started, and as I learn more about the typewriter-collecting community as it existed in the 80's, 90's and oughts (see ETC back issues available on Richard Polt's site), I get real excited about the direction that the community is heading towards now and in the future. It's a great and dynamic community to be involved in - rich in history and fascinating people with amazing stories that deserve to be documented!Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120715572940256008.post-20488201229462389672013-01-20T16:04:24.317-08:002013-01-20T16:04:24.317-08:00John told me he had been in touch with you.

Anyway, your John sounds like the real deal. What a shame about the shipping container!<br /><br />Hope you can get the Bing running.
