As a matter of fact, a friend began a subscription to what he thought was a
magazine on word processing and it turned out to be an anti-word-processing
publication.  This publication gave ten hints for destroying keyboards,
using magnets in discrete ways to destroy data.  I estimate their numbers
in the thousands based on their references to a profile of their membership.
[It's interesting to note that their magazine was probably word processed.]
Let's not get out of touch with some of the people who `fear' those of us
in the `technological elite.'
