I love it.

You know, I can't sleep, but this made me feel better.

There is something very cool about the way an old typewriter sounds when keys are pressed and you hear that snap when a letter strikes home. It's more real than a blinking cursor covering for bits and bytes, and the soft sounds a keyboard makes.

there is nothing like going back to your roots and having that smell tickle your nose...of just something old...something meaningful..
