    “THAT’S THE SOUND OF TYPING. It’s the cadence of creativity, the percussion of punctuation. That sound, you’ll get lost in it. It becomes a rhythm, a music that will spur you on to other areas of imagination that you will eventually create and record forever on your typewriter..”
    The best closing statement. Ever. (*crying in the corner, unable to witness them moving towards extinction)

      That’s what typing do s for you. You type a boo boo (error), and you have to find an alternate phrase that uses that boo boo so you don’t have to correct there. To do that you really gotta have vocabulary.

      You certainly will, and you'll leave fingerprints around if you're not careful. And if the next letter you type is going to someone important, you have to be careful to not mess it up with your inky fingers.

    I used to repair typewriters in the 70s. After a while, manual typewriters were hard to find to repair because by that time electric typewriters and, especially, IBM Selectrics were what every typist wanted. Anybody remember the BUG adjustment?
