She's very tight on cash and has had to look into selling assets. Can you recommend to me by email ronigannon@hotmail.com a reputable source for her? Thanks.

In fact, I'm sure I've read a few antique rants dating from the typewriter's earliest days and assailing its technology. My main man Rainer Maria Rilke (the main character in my latest novel), for one, was horrified by the clatter of the keys. And ... come the days of corneal- or retinal-implanted computers, when the increasingly hazy barrier between man and machine has been eradicated altogether, there will be cause to think fondly of the quaint, non-diabolical laptop or i-phone: <em>Remember when we used to be able to step away from our terminals? (nostalgic sigh)</em> We're actually headed in this direction, if you can believe it! Cheers, ~Mark True, Johnooo.

Surely some would have seen it as an unwelcome barrier between the page and the writer accustomed to the pen. No broader conclusions here, just a thought. :) I can’t help but think that at one point, someone may have typed a similar article lamenting the proliferation of the typewriter.

We're lucky enough to have a <a href="http://www.bluemooncamera.com/index.php?fuseaction=store.main&menuID=5&catID=700&deptID=703" rel="nofollow">very competent dealer</a> in these old machines located here in Portland. They do tune-ups, overhauls, and can get most supplies. Thanks for your well-wishings on the book! ~Mark Jenn, The old Royal is a byoot, I’ve gotta say.

Can you still get ribbons for it? I had a similar typewriter that I finally sold because I could no longer reliably get ribbons for it. I still miss it - wrote two plays on that thing. Good luck with your book! Wow, it’s beautiful! Can you still get ribbons for it? I had a similar typewriter that I finally sold because I could no longer reliably get ribbons for it.
