I have an Olivetti... Studio, IIRC, that you can pry from my cold hands. Lovely machine. It had a sister; unfortunately, we recently lost her to a flood. I would have preferred a rescue/rehabilitation, but it wasn't my call -- and, past a point, there's only so much you can hang onto. Kind of negating my original point... But, that's nostalgia. I don't want to live on one, but a good typewriter is a bit of a monument that deserves continuing respect. And sometimes, the quality of the engineering -- and design -- is timeless.
