Title: Typewriter subforum?
Post by: hoggy on Thu, 20 March 2014, 08:35:08

It occurred to me that we must have a good deal in common with typewriter enthusiasts, and some of us have one.

I know it's a bit of an oblique, but it could be interesting.

Neat idea, but I don't know how active it would be.

If we knew how many users own typewriters/are interested, I could give a more substantial opinion.

Most GH members just want to salvage keycaps from compatible typewriters (especially those with "Code" keys).
