Typewriters

Like many people of my age, I am fond of 'old' stuff such as manual typewriters, valve radios and portable transistor radios.

Coming to typewriters, I still prefer manual (or electric) typewriters to computers. As some one who has worked with both, I am strongly covinced that the farmer is more user friendly than the latter.

This morning I came across a very interesting article on 'vintage' typewriters in a popular weekly magazine. Let me share the article here.

Following is a photo of Adler Tippa typewriter that served me for many years before I turned to computer based typing:

I fondly remember my typewriter.
