Doghouse, when I saw the wringer, I wondered what was "old" about that. Then, I realized that it wasn't a pasta press.

I watched All The President's Men, a couple of nights ago. Stories were written on manual typewriters, with carbon-paper inserts for copies. In one scene, Bob Woodward (Robert Redford), need to find a phone number in Minneapolis ... he went to the Washington Post's library of Yellow-Pages.
