You're right about 4 -- but I think it would be more accurate to say computer word processing programs and printers.
I bought my first computer about 1980 because I was typing my companion's book manuscripts and a word processing program was much more efficient than a typewriter.

Probably call them -- but email might also work.
When my great grandmother died 2,000 miles away in 1952, we were notified by telegram. Long distance phone calls were too expensive even for middle class families.
