Lynne's Somewhat Invented Life from United States
Even then, this was an amazing piece of equipment. I still love the typewriter. I remember sitting in type class and being "invited" up to Mr. Vance's desk and asked if I wanted to redo a page because there was a strikeover. A strikeover that was so faint I couldn't even see it but HE could. I redid the page.

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
The astonishing thing is that these typewriters were not that long ago in human terms . . my, my, how we have flown. Very nostalgic.

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Beautiful image. It's perfect as far as I'm concerned! (Imagine retyping pages, though, for one small mistake...)
