Typing this on my new QwerkyWriter keyboard, and feeling like a total tit, but also totally in love with this stupid thing.

I only type on it when I take a break from Fallout 4.

Oh, and I got all 40 of those vintage typewriters into the shop for service last week. I'll be getting 12 of them back eventually, over the next three months or so. Then I will distribute them to their new owners. The rest he is keeping in partial trade for parts, refurbishment, nostalgia, etc.

I love this keyboard. Did I mention that? But it is weird to have a truly vintage typewriter keyboard feel ... with command, function, arrow, and volume keys. Takes a little getting used to.

Hi hubski. Be well.

You could use that with Hanx Writer on an iPad and it'd be like the most expensive, Byzantine way to duplicate a thing you can get at Goodwill for $20.

Full disclosure: Hanx Writer is the most useless app I've ever paid for.
