On that note; I, recenly, picked up a series of short stories by Thomas 
Steinbeck. That Steinbeck (son of John)
seems alright vis-a-vis typing, but his stories are but pale shadows of 
his father's work.

No; even with marvellous typewriters, very, very few people will be John 
Steinbecks, while quite a few more
will be Thomas Steinbecks, and most will be doing something they are 
better at.
