Beecher asked where he could buy a typewriter, and as I was explaining ShopGoodwill.com to him, he cut me short and told me his mother works with their graphic design team. He also buys jewelry and shoes from their website. He's going to look around this weekend and find an electric machine, because like me, he prefers them.

First Typewriter Experience

She's had the typewriter well over a year now and still I'm the sole person who has ever typed anything significant it.
If I don't go with them, I'm the usual house and pet sitter when my sister's family goes on vacations. The Royal O is a nice machine and all, but I still prefer the ease of the electric machines. I brought my Sears Medalist with the intent to type several pages of personal writings and letters to type pals. This is as far as I got...
