Something beautiful about typewriters to me, is that even though some of mine are heading towards 100 years old, they still work. And they're still totally capable of doing the thing that they were built to do all those years ago.
I can turn out a page of copy faster on a 100 year old typewriter than someone with a powerful modern computer and printer. Not because I'm anything special. My typing is slightly above average, but I'm not a speed queen like there used to be in the 30's and 40's. But because typewriters do what they do so well that they're just more efficient.
In the hands of a skilled typist, the typewriter is an incredible tool. And I'd argue still an indispensable part of any modern office, even today.

Probably one of the grayer characters around the interwebs. Been around for about half a century, been furry for around 35 years of that time. Grew up in a small town in western NY, but I've lived in a few different places around the east coast and mid west. Even Alaska for a little while. I'm into photography, digital and more recently getting back into film. writing, and a bit of a stationary nerd, but not too bad. I also like cars, and alternative transportation. So yes I zip around on an electric scooter, but don't worry, I still get a little shiver when I hear a nice V8. Computers, I'm an avid Linux and Mac user, and video gamer. There's more, and maybe I'll add to this later, till then, if you want to know, ask. :)
