The latest book "Loving Ayesha and other stories" of Victor Rangel-Ribeiro (New Delhi, HarperCollins Publishers India, 2003)includes among its humorous to thought-provoking and historical pieces, one essay entitled "Keeping in Touch". It is about how a father and son continued to correspond despite their typewriters losing several letter types! I thought of recommenind an urgent reading of this story to help training the members of Goanet to read through the codes that appear frequently in the messages posted by those like me whose software programmes have "plain text" which is not as "plain" as the Goanet volunteers would like it to be! This reminds me of a friend who asked me help him buy a "touch system" type-writer! He was not aware that he could only buy a type-writer, but that the touch had to be his!
