The Awesome Pictures Thread

I saw a picture a while ago of the typewriters of famous writers...probably on This Isn't Happiness...

I remember having to take a typing class in 7th grade and the witch who taught it gave everyone a C after the first quarter because "after one quarter no one is an A typist".  I didn't care, cause hey I got a C for a class I thought I was failing.  But some of the girls in the class, the ones who had gone their entire academic lives with straight A's had their hearts ripped from their chests.  They were sobbing like a bunch of, well, little girls.  For some reason all this talk about typewriters brought back that memory.

Just getting ready for the next list of crap.  I was going to have a smurf, but then decided that I didn't want to be accused to trying to get people to vote for smurfs.

So I thought I would find something completely real (and therefore ineligible) that still looked like a fictional species.

Hence the picture of the Cat Faced Woman.

I learned to type on one of those. I wholeheartedly embraced computers when they came along, but there are times I still kind of miss typewriters.

I taught myself on one of these:



Used an old book, a really old book, the pictures of the typewriters in the book were like these:



But it was a great book, learned to touch type in a few weeks so I could use the Tandy TRS80 computers in our high school.

That's pretty cool. There's like a depth and dimension thing happening; almost like an old View-Master slide.
