Happy writing!

N. Nagaraj

Some people really miss the clattering of the typewriter's keys inside offices these days. Of course, the convenience offered by the computer is unmatched in terms of typing, editing, taking copies etc., but some people still yearn for the days of thick carbon copies, the clatter of the keys and the ring of the carriage return, and the whitened areas where some mistakes have been corrected.

If you really miss the typewriter, or are curious about them, don't miss the typewriter museum site at http://www.mmworks.nl/typewritermuseum/index.html. Are you aware that the first typewriter was invented as long back as the 15th century? In this site, you will not only find a short history of the typewriter, you will also find some information about how impacted the life of people down its evolutionary history. More interestingly, you will find a collection of machines that are rare and in some cases, were not marketed to the public.
