Typewriters?
mcnicks | Jun 15 2006
Do any of you use typewriters? I am starting to do some creative writing and, while I am enjoying scribbling on a notebook, I also have a vague notion to type as well. The thing is, I have no idea about makes and models. I am not after anything clever or electronic, so maybe I should look for a reconditioned mechanical typewriter? Or are there new mechanical typewriters on sale? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated... David 8 Comments

Wow! There seem to be hardly any new typewriters on the market these days. I suppose that is technology for you. I would have thought that there would be a slight demand from people who like the physicality of marking a page with a typewriter, but apparently not. I can definitely get my hands on a Brother AX100 typewriter. However, all of the other Brother typewriter models are marked as being discontinued on one of their store web sites, which might indicate that the AX100 is not long for this world. Perhaps it is silly looking for a typewriter? What do you think? I just have a curious hunch that I would enjoy typing away, scoring things out, winding new pages in, punctuating the music on my stereo with the thwack thwack thwack of my typing. *sigh* » POSTED IN:
