It's pretty interesting, but not $600 interesting. :)

That is cool.

I heard an interview with a famous "old" writer (John Irving, maybe) on NPR not long ago, where he said that he had always used a typewriter, but as typewriters and parts had become harder and harder to find in recent decades, he had written his most recent novel longhand.

There is something quaint and wonderful about ink and paper, but the problem of correcting mistakes is just monumental nowadays.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
