Rearrange the 14 letters of "OPENING CREDITS" to name two symbols you can type on a typewriter or computer. What symbols are these?The answers would appear to be PERIOD and CENT SIGN.
I say "appear to be" because there's some question about what can be typed on a computer, for example. A period, sure no problem: .
But a cent sign? ¢ can be made by typing an & followed by the word cent and a semi-colon, ;. I don't think that's typing. I'd call that html coding. But hey -- we knew what the puzzle called for, and in that context it's pretty easy.
By the way, I remember when you made a cent sign by typing a lower-case c, then backspacing and typing a forward slash (/). You can't do that on a computer!
And just to end this sentence:
Time for ...

Note that one can form at least two other symbols with the available letters, but I can't then find another symbol with the remaining letters.
Those words are "percent" and "dot" (but the second is pre-www).
i mean post-www.
My old portable typewriter had a cent sign key but you had to type a capital S, backspace and type a slash to get a dollar sign.
There was no cent sign on any computer keyboard that I've had although you can type a cent sign by hold the "Alt" key while typing 0162
