Erase handwriting with amiga?

[microid]

Hello all!

I would like to know if is (was) possible to (anyhow) erase handwriting with any model of Amiga.

I hope this doesn't sound wierd

[xeron]

Well, if the handwriting was in light pencil, the amiga might act as an eraser; but I doubt it would be a very good one, and quite unweildy; especially if you're using an A3000T... :lol:

Edit: However, an original ZX Spectrum *DOES* have a rubber keyboard.... :-D

Erase from what? :-?

@microid

Welcome to A.org :-D

Are you talking about the writing on the inside case of the A1000?  If so, you certainly don't want to erase it (ie sand it down) - those are the signatures of the original Amiga team (and Jay Miner's Dog's pawprints :-) )

Or do you mean some application where you can scan in a picture and remove writing off it? :-?

---edit---

If you've bought a second hand Amiga that someone's written all over, taking the case apart and immersing it in some kind of cleaner (I cannot remember what's best) should get the writing off I'd imagine, and maybe even help get rid of the yellow colour.

hello all...

actually - i wont erase anything. it's just some "wierd" question in one great test.

With which computer could you erase handwriting?

-Amiga
-Spectrum
-XT
-Oric nova

and somebody told me that amiga is the righ answer.
Maybe it really is spectrum (because of rubber keys)

Sorry, but the question just doesn't make any sense, so I wouldn't expect any serious answers.

Presumably it makes more sense if you're British, and a 'rubber' is an eraser.  Maybe.

--Not British.

[Cyberus]

I was thinking, is it some kind of riddle?
Is 'Amiga' an anagram of 'rubber' in another language?
But 'rubber' ('eraser' in US) is gomme, gommi etc or something similar in French, Italian, German (and probably Spanish and Portugues). I also checked it in my Russian dictionary....
I bet Spectrum is the right answer! It has to be.

[KennyR]

Set it on fire and drop it on the handwriting. This will certainly erase it.

[Speelgoedmannetje]

:-? Does he/she means to replace handwriting?
in that case, any typewriter/computer is of course an option :lol:

though if you want to print (on a VERY standard and VERY old printer) on the ZX spectrum...
You'll need the expansion.

Me neither.  Sometimes differences in dialects make me laugh. If someone here in the US used a rubber to erase something they would get funny looks!  :lol:

EEEeeeeehhhhh....What are you talking about?

Is it some kind of notepad where you can "write" onto?  Like Write It for example?  (hard to use with a mouse, maybe a light pen {that's a first! :-P} or touchscreen with a stylus-pen {now, THAT'S cool! :-D})

[MAD]

Hoya!

Erk!
I do believe it is the weirdest question I have ever seen on this forum!

By the way, the Thomson MO5 had rubber keys, too.
For those who do not know it, it was a French 8bit which was quite terrible! :-)

Be funky
