Her husband had bought her a "Star Writer" and she didn't know how to use it. I had never even heard of such a thing!<br /><br />How the world has moved in the past few years.

I can't remember the brand (Japanese though) and, sadly, I disposed of it about 10 years ago and wish I hadn't: it belongs in a museum now.
