    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.

    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.
