Here’s an interesting article by Michael Kanellos, CNET News.com. He says that writing of handwritten letters is making a comeback in the business world.

I used to write letters all the time. Before I became surgically attached to this Dell, I had good handwriting. In my desk, I still have boxes of fine stationary – some custom made – and an elegant box of nice fountain pens. If you received a one page, handwritten letter from me, back in those days, you can bet I spent two hours on it. And I had the time to do so.

Now I fume over the two minutes it takes me to delete the approximately 100 pieces of spam I receive each day. And if your e-mail takes me five minutes to read, God help you. This evening, I sent three “letters” by computer to old friends in the 15 minutes before dinner.

If letter writing comes back, I’ll be ready. Maybe. If my bottled ink hasn’t all dried up.
