1. Brings back memories. Something special about the sound and feel of the ol’ manual typewriter. The hypnotic rhythm….ding!
   🙂

   1. There really is. Each stroke deliberate. No backspace. No undo.

      Of course, if I typed my work, it would be a mess.

   2. 1. 🤣😆🤣😆🤣 enjoyed seeing that again, Ben. Used to have that saved in my computer years ago – still makes me literally laugh out loud. Glad to know it’s still out there, thank you!

      2. It’s a classic.!I’m not sure it will ever disappear. I still have it on my pc though .JIC As for its LOL capacity I can repost it is till in good working order. (IGWO) 😀

2. Mine too. 😆

3. Great sound: zipper crunch slide to the left! It’s years since I heard that – thanks for the memory!

   1. 😊

4. Nostalgic and lovely poem. I love the sound of a typewriter and yes, the bell, as well.

   1. Ask not for whom the bell 🔔 tolls! I’m happy you enjoyed it.

5. 1. 😂

      1. 😀 Sorry. Just couldn’t resist.

   1. Thank you!

8. i miss my Underwood

   1. I have a Remington my father in law gave me that I recently had repaired. I’m a little afraid to use it.

      1. I can imagine finding ribbons is a bit of chore these days.

      2. The typewriter repairman sold me some. 😊

9. There is something about that sound–though I would have a difficult time actually writing on one. I enjoy the ease of a computer. 😉

10. Love the sense and images of this. particularly:
    key striking a fresh piece of
    paper and leaving a smudge free
    ink-filled crater

    1. It’s always the best feeling.
