When was the last time D!ck Wolf showed any L&O cop typing something? NY Post: "In fact, just last year, the city signed a $982,269 contract with New Jersey-based Swintec for the purchase of thousands of new manual and electric typewriters over the next three years -- some of which retail for as much as $649 apiece.
And last month, the city signed a $99,570 deal with Afax Business Machines in Manhattan for the maintenance of its existing Brother, Panasonic and IBM Selectric typewriters. In both cases, NYPD expenditures account for the bulk of the contract, sources told The Post. Although most of the NYPD's arrest-report forms have been computerized, cops still use typewriters to fill out property and evidence vouchers, which are printed on carbon-paper forms. There are typewriters in every police precinct, including one in every detective squad. 'It just doesn't make sense that we can't enter these [vouchers] on computer,' one cop told The Post." http://www.nypost.com/seven/07132009/news/regionalnews/typewrite__wrong_178919.htm -- BOB --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
