To type or not to type?

citygirlsmom, you seem so…shocked! I thought the exact same thing, I remember my mom trying to type out a job application when I was younger. The best part: she ran out of ink halfway through, and when she tried to buy a new ribbon (correct term, no?) she was told that the company didn’t make them anymore! To answer your question, I do have a typewriter, probably the product of being raised by a secretary who learned to type in the late seventies. Mine is a Royal, I’m not sure about the model number, but it’s a horrid pink-brown. I do remember “playing” with it when I was about five, and becoming so frustrated with it that I probably would’ve recreated that Office Space scene had I the opportunity.
