Hey there's a way to recover some of the national debt. Eliminate the penny and round up all the prices in a special tax. If something would normal cost $3.57, the stores can charge $3.60 and the extra three cents would go to the government. My purse would be lighter and I wouldn't have this big jar of pennies in the closet. Yay!

I don't think it was ever on the computer keyboard but was on the typewriter. Oh well, back to Google!

It has been gone for years, and yes, it was the typewriter you are thinking of.

Yes! It's been gone for years! It used to be upper case 6.

I tried the alt 4 trick and it didn't work for me. Guess I'm not allowed my two cents. Boo Hoo!

you know, the c with the line thru it!

Correct, and so is the degree. You know as bake at 350 degrees. I really miss that one.

Thinking it is a spelling lesson we are suppose to figure out by ourselves. Laughing, laughing
