"They have even scoured garage sales buying up old typewriters and are actively looking for someone who actually knows how to use them."

No chance of matching her since she typed 180 wpm on a manual typewriter.

I could type 100 wpm on an electric... I find your claim of someone being able to type 180 wpm on a manual not quite believeable. Sorry.
