Type writer is not self correcting, then what? The Alpha I just got is actually functional and I played with it a bit. As far as I can tell they both do the same thing, go back one space. Can't delete ink from paper.
I guess if you are quick it deletes from memory before it types it out, as there is some delay between keypress and the letters being printed.

I had an electric typewriter in my early student days... Backspace did just that; step the carriage back a space. Delete on the other hand stepped back a space and stamped white out over the typed character...

The backspace allowed you to type the same character again and make it bold. I guess you could also use the same to create an interrobang or similar character made of multiple character symbols on top of each other.

I like that backspace key, if that is what it is (with the arrow with X in it) :)
Yeah, it's a backspace. You can see what the full set looks like, below.

The other day my gf asked whether I had any spare keycaps that I didn't need, so I gave her my old stock Filco keys.

I should've known something was up seeing as she's an artist, because today she surprised me with these:

Those are the nicest looking caps I have seen yet. When they refer to keycaps as being art, this is what they mean. Great job!

rowdy · « **Reply #1281 on:** Sun, 21 October 2012, 05:43:27 »

Amazingly done!

rayuki · « **Reply #1282 on:** Sun, 21 October 2012, 05:43:50 »

so i think we all know the secret to awesome keycaps now is to just give them to our artistically minded partners?

awesome job!

If I'm not mistaken, basically the paints are applied to the surface of a liquid with a buffer (like water and borax for example) and swirled together. Then the objects are dipped in, capturing the paint swirl and pulling the paint pattern onto the object. It's a pretty neat process!
