I too could go on and on about why I love typewriters so much, but like Richard said, I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928099911371743620.post-55796705462443309702015-01-18T15:15:52.477-08:002015-01-18T15:15:52.477-08:00I enjoyed reading this, especially how the typewri...I enjoyed reading this, especially how the typewriters have affected your social life. I could go on all day about what typewriters have brought to my life, but a worldwide network of friends, acquaintances, and fellow enthusiasts is one of the best dimensions of this multidimensional interest.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928099911371743620.post-87398711096161433202015-01-14T11:35:14.524-08:002015-01-14T11:35:14.524-08:00I also keep one in my car, usually so I can type a...I also keep one in my car, usually so I can type after work.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407133004841846661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928099911371743620.post-62536648283398981752015-01-14T10:14:33.830-08:002015-01-14T10:14:33.830-08:00I too love typewriters, and the physical act of ty...I too love typewriters, and the physical act of typing as being distinct from writing, per se. There are times, while at work, that I can't wait for the weekend to roll around when I can being typing.<br /><br />I type for my blog, which I update at least weekly, but also for a personal journal. Sometimes typings start out as rough drafts potentially for a blog article, but end up not being published, as they might be of a subject matter or tone of voice not in keeping with my blog's theme, in which case they get merely archived in a binder.<br /><br />I also have found typing to be a practical form of data backup, for text-based data like passwords or one's cellphone contact list. Keeping multiple copies of such important information safely stored in multiple locations offers a form of security unmatched by other means. And if it's really important, a copy can be stashed in a bank's safety deposit vault.<br /><br />Recipes are also conveniently typed, along with grocery lists, which work well with a small typewriter kept in some handy location near the kitchen, with paper already threaded up to go. <br /><br />A spare machine in adequate working condition can also be kept in the trunk of one's car, as an out-and-about trunk typing machine, always available should the need arise, like a sudden coffee shop stop, or kid's soccer game, or a stop at the park on a nice day.<br /><br />Having an excess of typewriters as a collector-user, one has to find specific and creative reasons to use them throughout one's life.Joe Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679530650280030752noreply@blogger.com
