Rants, Musings and Albatross

http://rantsmusingstypewriters.blogspot.com/

    I miss the whirring hum and clackity report of the electric typewriter. There are few tactile experiences as satisfying as rattling off a run-on Selectric sentence. RAP-ATTA-RAP-ATTA-ATTA-PHLAP! Oh, man! That's the stuff!The problem is that I also...
