No "Comic Sans" font. People had TASTE back then.
There's even a font called "I hate comic sans":

Everytime I see the Scrabble tombstone, I always focus on the bottom right where it says "POKER (INSIDE) HARD." Is there something wrong with that?
Yo, you dudes just cold.
I see nothing wrong with Comic Sans.
And that dude is DEAD, you hear. He in higher ground. (http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=higher%20ground&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wv#) Y'all show some some respect.

I take my trusty key puller, pull, Pull, PULL!

Actually I don't think they come off and it's my dads so I'm not going to dissect this thing.
Some interesting things about the mechanism from the wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selectric) - this has key buffering and binary transmissions.
I understood maybe a quarter of all that. Wikipedia needs more pictures.
I think some of these IBM engineers were high when they thought of this stuff.
Man I want that red one!
Man I want that red one! But I will not get it. I want it though...
Why it didn't cost thousands is beyond me.Show Image(http://blog.makezine.com/46F5E020-C01C-3DF0-477CC23FBB35328F_9.jpg) (http://blog.makezine.com/46F5E020-C01C-3DF0-477CC23FBB35328F_9.jpg)
The hate for comic sans is understandable and warranted, but when people complain about Arial being a ripoff of Helvetica (because they saw the movie) it's just a gateway for further "font snobbery". Most fonts, barring ornamentals, are ripped-off from originals. Look up the origins of any popular font, Futura and Century Gothic for example, and you'll find they're both from a font called Twentieth Century aka. Tw Cen MT. In the end, it all comes down to subtle differences in a font that you need. "I want this font but without serifs" bam - you'll have it without having to edit or modify an existing font
But if you are into reading pretentious douchenozzles complain about fonts (http://typophile.com/forums), feel free!
Sorry for the minor derail

I've always wanted to bend a hippie chick over a Selectric II, but it would have to be a correctable model since it would most certainly be an error if only in judgment ...
Anyway, that reminds me of a couple other issues with my Selectric. If it hasn't been run in a while, the motor doesn't want to start, and there is a ticking sound, which usually indicates a bad drive belt.
my Mam has an obsession with dumping old things, and I was too young to appreciate it at the time.
I was wondering why you keep the carcasses from you mods (your sig).
You really should try employment. Having money isn't at all a bad thing.
(admins, sorry).
How does one lose a Selectric?
Some people have asked about the innards of the Selectric Typewriter.
Here is a good video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLySMIzASNE) Pretty scary in there!!
