Modern Mechanix » Typewriter Spaces Words To Fill Lines
Really. What girl wouldn’t want one of these? Such a cool gadget.
Although, it does make me very conscious of all the retyping people used to have to do. I dimly remember this from when I was typing on our IBM Selectric, but we had some sort of special eraser tape that would either lift the mistake up or paste something over it. It only worked really well if you spotted the typo as you were going. If you had to correct something later, it was a pain to get the page to line up again.
I like my computer. Such a cool gadget. But I still want one of these.

Once upon a time, it was an iBook; and apparently it’s still fully-functional.
Oh, heavens yes. I’ve been coveting that for a while. I’ve also had plans to convert one of my typewriters, but never have had time to do it.
