I have wifeanon's Grandma's old Smith Corona from the 40's. I love the smack of the keys. Use it a lot. Recently found ribbon that works in it and don't have to use the shit from the 50's rewound.
Thinking about how many books were written like that gives Anon much respect for past, pre-word processor/computer/auto correct authors and writers.
Shit tons of respect for typesetters. That was hard work.
