Point one: Yes, a manual typewriter is an incredible workout and actually enhanced my finger strength for guitar playing by a noticeable margin. Also, accuracy is of supreme importance. As I'm fond of saying, "there's really no delete key on a typewriter" because while there is a way to white-out errors, there's a certain gratification in creating an full page of text without scars. Mmmm. Point two: That's why I don't have a mechanical keyboard here at work, even though I want one. When rattling out words at 150 WPM or so, it would sound like a string of black cat firecrackers going off...I'd enjoy it immensely, but alas, it's not to be.
