My computer no longer talks to my printer dispite countless attempts to fix the problem. But I can still type a beautiful letter on my 1913 Underwood.

I wish there were an advantage to the typewriter companies enough to continue to produce supplies. You can still get type-writers, and for now the ribbons, but one day no-one will make or stock the ribbons... it's a shame, as there's no better way to write

I heard that this guy closed down... I don't know what happened to him. Anybody know? I mean, he was pretty old...

Hi I've got an old portative Royal and I've got a problem: the carriage return lever is unable to go to move the carriage roller to the next line... What should I do?

Just picked up a mid 20's Royal No. 10 Today.... What a workhorse!!!!
