The obsessive compulsive in me really cringes at the typos and misplaced apostrophes in this typecast, but all these errors are organic to the process. With these errors included, the page itself becomes like a moment trapped in amber. In practicing my typing I've also realized how dependent I've become on spellcheck and auto correct. When typing on a computer, I sometimes don't even bother to capitalize the first word in a sentence because I know that Word will take care of it for me. Conversely, writing on a typewriter forces me to be more mindful of what I'm doing.

| Part of the typewriter's body can be lifted off to replace the ink cartridge, so you can really get into the belly of the beast. |

| Got to love the 1970s styling! |
