Ton S would love it. I wonder what ever happened to him. He even removed his blog.
I started with a Praxis 48 way back in the 80s. Neat typewriter. I always think it is very futuristic.
Please pass my email to Miss Desorgues, I'd be happy to help.
I love those Olivetti ads - thanks for digging them out for us.
Will do Piotr. I thought you might be able to assist.
Like the James Bond and David Bowie exhibitions of recent memory, there's probably no chance this exhibition will get to Perth, Western Australia. :(
She contacted me too, and I recommended Piotr among others.
I will be in London this July, so maybe I will get to see the show.
Hi Robert, Juliette's obviously been put onto me too. I can supply part of her needs (and tried to tempt an outing for the Graphika!). I suggested she puts a post in the Facebook group too.
