Typewriters... Oh if I could get my hands on a working selectrix and years of supply of ink and spare parts for less than the price of a kidney I'd be using it all the time, pages would fly and neighbours would whine. It would probably make me more happy than 90% of my 'stuff'. Some things felt better before, and I can understand the sadness of not seeing more (in my case) mass-produced electromechanic tech today or that they haven't survived, at least in affordable form.
