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.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
