Aw, I like old typewriters. Yeah, I know they're not exactly practical for much but envelopes, but they're such a wonderful reminder of the days when many companies in the U.S. actually had the ability to produce good quality mechanical machinery. Even adjusting for inflation, how many companies would have the ability to produce a functional mechanical typewriter for less than ten times what one would have cost in 1980?
I still like typewriters ... and I still use it.
Just an example, which I'm sure you did not miss, was that all the typewriter workers in the US can probably get work in the computer field.
Hi! :)
