[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I don't know how to use a mimeograph machine, either. [/quote]

You never did this in school?  Apparently, you missed out on an important childhood experience.  You crank the machine with a handle on the side, then you hold the paper copies up to your nose and smell them.[/quote]

I mean, I DID, a couple of times, but they were obsolete by the time I was in middle school, so I've forgotten how.[/quote]

I had never heard of this machine before this thread. This is not a life skill any more churning butter is a life skill (in this century.)

They certainly are! The point of this thread is really about the differences in generations and how some things that were so basic to us are simply not so basic anymore. Such as addressing envelopes. There are other things being discussed that are still very relevant but simply “Oops! Missed that lesson!” moments, such as cleaning the lint trap.
