It's fascinating to me that that piece of technology which is, at a guess, forty years old or thereabouts...still does *exactly* what it was meant to do. That in spite of the fact that it's probably been twenty years since anyone used it much. Just needed a little elbow grease.
Whereas...this computer will be on a dustheap in probably less than ten years.
We live in a high-speed disposable world, and though I love the Internet and all...well, I like having a few old things from a slower time. ;-) Hence my fountain pens, and now this old beater of a typewriter.
So...SOX wars, huh? I'll have to go spy...
Congrats on the NaNo completion, all of you!
