Last time I checked, typewriters didn't require plug-ins, produce
documents that play music, flash annoyingly, include extraneous
graphics, produce type in 5" dark purple letters on a black background,
transmit cholera, and impregnate the family pet.

One of us is engaging in hyperbole; I'm not quite sure which is the
lesser of the two, however.
