I mean, look at them! They're beautiful! (from Fab.com)
I'm old enough (somehow, or maybe I should say poor enough) to have originally written all my papers on an old portable typewriter. It had a handle and a case and the old definition of portable was not what it is now, because that thing weighed about as much as I did. It was rickety and it didn't have replacement ribbons, so we had to rewind and reink them, but it was mine, and I typed up those papers and my first few stories one letter at a time and loved it.
But these things are beautiful. And even though what I really need is a new computer, what I want is one of these typewriters. The problem, of course, is that they cost as much as a pretty high-end computer, since they're one of a kind and hand-redone, but just look at them!
