A few years ago I finally let go of the Olympia portable that my
parents gave me in 1966, for my sixteenth birthday:

Their real stroke of genius was the add-on, so to speak: a book
called Teach Yourself Touch Typing. Little did they know how
essential that skill would become.

Honestly, though, I miss the look of typewritten text more than
the experience of producing it on a typewriter. (Struggling with
Wite-Out the night before a paper was due is not among my
fondest memories.) Happily, free TTF typewriter fonts are
plentiful on the Web. The output of my Olympia looked something
like this:

The font is Olympia Congress.
