For those above a certain age and who write a bit, do you miss the comforting click of the keys hitting the ribbon? Any chance of a revival? Quite an interesting development.

Can you not just get an app to simulate the noise?

If the spies were passing on documents whats to stop them using the photocopier, if we want to keep it old tech, or the camscanner app on their phone if the spy wants to play a more up to date spy?

My typewriter experiences go back to the 1960s/70s, playing on my mothers machine on a rare visit to her office.

Unless I put my figures through an intensive strengthening work out at the finger gym I think I'll just leave this one.

Electric typewriters were less effort to use but I suppose the purists would scoff at them!

It was more enjoyable writing angry, snotty or complaining letters on a typewriter. No where near as good via an email. :rolleyes:
