Typewriter and Vista

Saw this odd juxtaposition of a Corona manual typewriter and Windows Vista Home Premium at a Noe Valley sidewalk sale today.

    Mmmm. This begs some comparisons and contrasts…
    Expected lifetime: 40 years versus 5.
    Uptime before next reboot: 40 years versus 2 days.
    Power consumption: 0 versus significant trickle
    Ability to transfer to next “location” : completely flexible versus limited.
