They have started to say "tap or click on...". So I suppose it won't be long before nobody will be using keyboards anymore. Soon we'll be a bunch of old farts reminiscing about the days when we had these mechanical devices called keyboards...

I wouldn't even want it then if for no other reason than chat programs. I can just picture people shouting "LOL" and "Smiley Emoticon" at their computers.

I have never eaten a Twinkie.   Never even seen one apart from on TV. Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.   Shed Petition[^]

Alas, yes, it appears that Twinkies, Ho Ho's, and Ding Dongs, are all on the endangered species list, until their next re-incarnation.   America's pantheon of heart-disease, diabetes, and obesity icons will have to rely on just "Happy Meals" and "Double Whoppers with Bacon," for a while ?...
