Does anyone have, or knows anyone who might have, a manual typewriter they're willing to sell? It has to be manual - like the old Royals - and preferably portable. I figured someone somewhere in town might have one collecting dust or evening out a wonky table table. Thanks. ---------- '08 The Fix --winner

The place in question is called "Type 'N Write", and although they do have many more electrics than manuals, they do have a small selection of standards (rather than portables). Jes is the fellow there who makes them go, and you can pick up fresh ribbons for just $5.60. It's worth a visit if you're into that sort of thing. And if anyone out there wants to buy me a "congrats for winning Nano 09" present, I like the Remington 12 they have there... Simon ----------
