Ahh... I remember old docs from my dad office. You'll see "Tipp-Ex" (correction fluid) used here and there to hide thse typos.

Hey, for the sake of fun, maybe I should try this again. I think I still have a typewriter stored somewhere...



If you have kids, do! They will be amazed about the old tech :-) Took mine out last spring and the daughter was all "Oooh!", "Hahah", "I want!". Ofcourse it's just standing in a corner forgotten now but it was fun for a day :-)


This. I did the same thing with my kids a couple of years ago, and the youngest one really took a liking to it, to the extent that she (At 7 years of age) insist on handing in the occasional schoolwork typewritten.

After trying it out a little, she settled into a rather efficient workflow, drafting her homework in pencil, then typing it up once she'd figured out what to write and what layout she wanted.
