    it's a semi-automatic type writer, I learned to type on one of those and actually have a old school fully meachanic non-automatic type writer at home. the sound is awesome and typing on it feels so cool, too :)

    I have one like it in the attic; I also have a manual version in the same box. I went to undergrad with an portable electric just like that.

    It's a rare artifact, indeed. An ancient writing tool used way back in the Stone Age...you know, back when I was in high school. :laugh:

    Don't feel bad. I'm 22 and I used typewriters until the age of 12. One of them wasn't even electric!

    I remember being a teen and trying to call into radio station contests from the roatary dial phone "1 *click*, 3 *click clickclick* 4*clickclickclickclick*" and before I'd finish dialing the stupid number they had their winner. Oh I'd get so mad at my parents for not getting a touch tone phone!
