Rate my typewriter 1-10 😀

@AHappyBee That's impressive that you got a 1970s typewriter. I would rate 9 out of 10.

Oh, that's nothing. I have a typewriter from 1930s or perhaps 20s. How cool is that?

@chesseater78 what’s a typewriter?

A typewriter is a mechanical or electromechanical machine for typing characters similar to those produced by a printer's movable type. Typically, a typewriter has an array of keys, and each one causes a different single character to be produced on the paper, by means of a ribbon with dried ink struck against the paper by a type element similar to the sorts used in movable type letterpress printing. On some typewriters, a separate type element corresponds to each key; others use a single type element with a different portion of it used for each character. At the end of the nineteenth century, the term typewriter was also applied to a person who used a typing machine.

Its amazing what you can find on the internet...

@AlexObby21

I have a typewriter with a screen, cpu, gpu/graphics card, RAM, and SSD hard drive storage.

Was it called a compute? Or was it a copter? Or is it a compuier?

thnx lol

i'd rate it it 10/ 10, as it is almost 30 years older than me, and at least works better than me. ;)

One thing in common with the old typewriters and modern keyboards, is the "QWERTY" letter layout. You should see the difference between using an electric typewriter and a manual one. The high tech typewriters had the "IBM" ball typing element. #14
They did the job. I was wondering if you can still find ink ribbons for the older models? :]
