typestolgia (n.) - A nostalgia for old manual and electric typewriters as well as the sound of typewriting on such machines "I like my computer with its sleek keyboard, of course, but I must say, I also harbor a personal typestolgia for the old days of manual typewriters and electric typewriters."

Hey, James! This typecast just inspired me to pick up a pack of minty green paper perfect for typing at Staples! Look out for it on my blog! By the way, check the blog for a story I did on Cambridge Typewriter! I went there as a birthday present (I live in NJ), and it was amazing! Tom just so happened to have an SG-1 there, and it's everything you said it was. WOW! I'm also going to be getting a Hermes Ambassador, which is Hermes' equivalent to the SG-1, even sporting a paper-feed lever on the side! Plus, it's got that classic Hermes mint green color as well, which perfectly matches this paper! And it's got a typeface very similar to Times New Roman on it, or the Congressional typeface on Olympia machines! It's called "Director Elite."
Bravo, James!
ReplyDeleteSay, would that green paper be from Maine ??
Fisher makes great pens. I've visited their factory, during a travel through Chicago. Space pens are used by NASA.
And you are hip to the anti-gravity side of graphite writing. Way to go! And big-time way to go on your book!!
Thanks and yes, the paper came from your generous self.
