Title: NPR on keyboards
Post by: vils on Sun, 21 June 2009, 20:25:35

American public-service radio aired a program about keyboards earlier this year. The title was: Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback Of Sorts
They talked a bit with Cheryl Lowry who writes her blog posts on a type-writer and then post scans of the text. Something for you Xsphat?
Would be awfully hard to do searches in the forum though...
You can find the program here. (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100076874)

I have to bump this thread.
When at work yesterday I could not listen to the shows, just read about them.
But I have now listened to both programs, and they were great.
Have anyone else listened to them?

I have a bunch of Royal 1930-1940s Royal typewriters.  They are cool, but I would hate to write on them.  I can't wait for my Selectric to get here.  How do you like it Ripster ?
