What is a carriage, and why do I have to return it?
This question may perplex today's generation of computer-literate youth, just as the term horseless carriage may mystify some. How can you have a horse-drawn carriage with the horse pulling it?
- Oh, you mean a car!
- No, an Automobile. It moves by itself, with nothing pulling it.
- Dude, it's still a car (grin).
Well, it has to do with typewriters.
- You mean a word processer without a computer chip?
Er, exactly something like that. Now where was I?
