I was cleaning out the garage last summer and came across an old IBM selectric typewriter. My teenage sons were fascinated!

"Dad? when did IBM make a printer with a built in keyboard? what a cool idea!"

LOL!

That's another thing that has passed away. When I was a kid any large office(such as telepone company or bank, etc.etc) had the din of IBM typewriters working overtime, and don't forget the bell "ding" to remind the typist that they had to push the bar back.
