The Last Typewriter Repairman?
- davi 18y agoThis, from the repairman: "Maybe people will get so disgusted with the breakdowns and failures they'll go back to IBM typewriters."
- danielrhodes 18y agoIt's kind of a good lesson: don't base yourself to heavily around something that could easily go out of fashion/get replaced by something better.
- eru 18y agoWhy not? Only because those typewriter repair guys went out of their original business does not say they are worse off today.
- Hoff 18y agoGramercy Typewritter seems a hardware-based variant of the Open Source Contractor that was discussed back at: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=319780 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=319780 Both are getting paid for their specialized and rare skills.
