Yeah, it can be hard to get ahold of electricity nowadays. Typewriters neatly dodge this problem.

Even if you buy one from the 1960's? Those look pretty self-explanatory when it comes to changing the ribbon.

Oh you probably also go on some kind of government list when you buy one too, try not to buy a pressure cooker or any bomb ingredients in the same month as your typewriter purchase haha

Now I'm confused, why would you will be put on a government list for buying a typewriter?
I can understand the pressure cooker or bomb ingredients, but a typewriter?

You just seem like the kind of person who cares very deeply about it. I thought maybe you had a few thousand words to typewrite on the subject.
