me too Sheila... me too... & i still don't type the way i was taught... :] hehe... remember before white-out & correction ribbon??? those little pieces of paper you'd stick in there to type over it then you'd get all the white powder stuck on the keys which crossed every now & then, that you'd have to stick your finger in there & uncross them & if you were typing a term paper it took you alllllllll night to do it with a big trashcan of scrunched up paper to show for your effort??? kids don't know how good they got it with PC Word!! :P this one's an antique... an Underwood... i picked it up at a thrift store for 10$!! :]

Cyn's is the VERY coolest but mine is red! Red was my Grandmother's favorite color. She had everything from red carpet, red lamps, red fabric on her furniture to the red typwriter which I later inherited. I didn't realize I had the "Miss Secretary" manual too until I dug it out for the Scavenger Hunt.
