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

You can find old IBM selectrics on eBay for a pretty good price. Just be aware that these are very loud typewriters. If you don't like writing to machine gun sounds, look for something with a daisy wheel. For me though, I learned to type on a Selectric, and I still remember the "feel" of them. » POSTED IN:
