I remember the typewriter…
tyIn June, the New York Police Department spent $99,000 on a typewriter repair contract, which will take on increasing importance since last year NYPD bought thousands of new typewriters, manual and electric, costing the city almost $1 million. The NYPD still is not even close to computerizing some of its daily-use forms, such as property and evidence reports. [New York Post, 7-13-09]
This gives me hope that perhaps my mimeograph repair skills can still be but to good use!
Don’t give in, NYPD! Don’t cave under the promise of so-called “efficiency”! It is all false hopes and lies! : )
You know what? Why do these lazy cops need these typewriters anyway? Ever hear of a PEN!? Maybe if they didn’t spend so much money on their fancy electric writing machines they’d have more time to stop crime.
