Worth it!

It’s a great skill and fun to do. I like sitting there and zoning out, playing whatever comes to mind. Great relaxation – I’ve broken many strings on pianos before—a great tension reliever!

I've got a bunch

I love my typewriters! They make me happy even if I don’t use them much. The Canon typestar 6, a battery powered 1 lb typewriter is my favorite. It’s from 1982 and I can pick it up and move it anywhere. Permanently archiving thoughts and feelings and ideas, even if nobody will ever read them, is reassuring to the ego.
Shown is my “concept” typewriter from the 1960’s. It won some kind of award for best design. Picked it up for $5 from a Goodwill a couple of years ago.
I've got quite a few of them.

I love my typewriters!
I don’t use ‘em much, but when I do, I go wild.
The sound of the clickity-clack, the ink smashing against the paper—it’s quite elegant.
I have a battery powered typewriter from 1984 that weighs only 2 pounds, a big clunky IBM Wheelwriter with way too many ribbons, an art-deco typewriter I got from the goodwill for $9.00, plus several weird electronic word processors from the late 80’s / 1990’s.
Loads of fun when I get on a typewriter kick.
