They use old but reliable Olivetti models (they were very popular in Mexico). <br /><br />In another location, right outside the IRS offices, there's a little place where you can actually RENT a mechanical or electrical typewriter to fill your forms. The mechanical machine is, of course, a Olivetti; the electrical (or rather electronical) is a battered IBM Wheelwriter.

I absolutely love the idea of setting up a typewriter on the side of the road to provide typed documents. I've seen that someone provides that service through eBay as well (though it's less charming on eBay).Raynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-87829371830139348562013-01-01T12:44:57.590+11:002013-01-01T12:44:57.590+11:00This is a fascinating selection of news items, ver...This is a fascinating selection of news items, very interesting.
