I now have FOUR typewriters (2 manual, two electric) and none of them really work. time to find a place to service them. typing was a required class for everyone in my high school (early 80's) and so there was none of the baggage about being trained as secretaries. I'm very glad I learned how - it might be the skill I learned in high school that I've used the most!

I learned how to type on IBM Selectrics back in the 70's. I can easily picture my typing manual and the typewriter. I've been thinking of trying to find an old manual myself. You've given me incentive.

This little white lie served me well, but I still loved my own typewriter. I took a portable with me on VIA across Canada from Vancouver to Montreal and felt so "smart and grownup" in my private roomette with my typewriter set up on the little pull-down table. The sound of the typewriter's click-click along with the train's click-clack, is a memory I will never lose.
