Retro question: do you remember working with a manual typewriter?

I remember it with particular and specific distaste.. It was a neat way of displaying the written word but unlike a computer and printer there was zero way to edit your work.. I would have to do and redo and redo again - endlessly to craft the argument in a logical fashion ... paper was wasted, time was wasted and frustration was supreme.. With a computer I was free to go back and edit and amend what was on the page and ultimately never have to use paper at all to communicate my thoughts - but to transfer the work to someone else to read electronically... I disliked the written word on paper, I disliked the typewriter and I came to adore the computer... The ONLY good thing about the typewriter was that it forced me to learn how to type so when it came to using a computer, I was able to do so efficiently... The good old days were not as good as they might seem in nostalgia and tomorrow is not as bad as it seems.. YOU just picked one that did not invoke any kind of positive memory for me.. but it make me appreciate my Macbook ever so much more...
