The Classic Manual Typewriter Is Back

 

Back when I went off to college, and that was many, many years ago, the portable notebook computer was not the standard issue that every student brought to school. In fact, that was before the personal computer was even invented (come on, I don’t feel that ancient). Nope, when I went to college, every student had to have a typewriter. I had a dandy little Smith Corona electric typewriter and I loved that thing. Sure, today, kids just use their computer equipped with a word processor application, and turn out beautiful work, spell checker and all.

But back then, there was no better way to crank out the reports and papers than with a typewriter. Otherwise, it was writing everything with pen and paper, long hand. And there wasn’t enough time in the day to get the work done by hand. While we’re reminiscing a bit, don’t forget the typewriting services for pay. You could turn in your hand written manuscript to a typewriting service, usually some gal moonlighting for extra pay, and get your papers done that way. After all, not everyone had a typewriter or knew how to type well.

And how about Ernest Hemingway, Tennesse Williams or Jack Kerouac. Do you think they would have created the same literary works on a notebook PC with a  word processor? Not likely. It had to be a manual typewriter! Some would even say that the clicking and clacking of the typewriter keys was half the inspiration for all of that creative literary invention. Well, I’m not sure about that, but it just wouldn’t feel right without the manual typewriter.

I’m glad to say, the classic manual typewriter is back! Not just a faint memory or a reminder in an old Hollywood film, you can actually get a beautiful, brand new manual typewriter. Better than ever, actually!

Let me ask you another question. Do you really think your personal computer, word processor and desktop printer is the best way to address envelopes. I don’t know about you, but it still takes me 5 tries to remember how to place the envelope in the special slot for printing to get the return address and the sender address to show up in the right place. Lets see, was that right-side up, or flush on the left, or upside-down, … oops, try again with another envelope. Definitely not green and eco-friendly wasting all that paper!

That’s where the Classic Manual Typewriter comes in handy. The manual typewriter by Royal  is perfect for addressing envelopes, creating labels, or filling out forms. It’s those simple, hit-and-run tasks that can be ridiculously tedious with a computer and desktop printer. These same little tasks are a snap and a breeze with a manual typewriter.

The Classic Manual Typewriter by Royal has all the standard functions you need.  Features include seven tab stops, adjustable line spacing, and a backspace key. The 44 keys type 88 symbols in 10-characters-per-inch Pica 87 font. Enclosed in a sleek, lightweight plastic housing and comes with a durable hard shell carrying case. And don’t forget the black/red spool ribbon (remember those).

The Classic Manual Typewriter dimensions are: 3 1/2 inches high, by 11 3/4 inches wide by 12 3/4 inches deep. Weighs about 9 pounds.

I want one, how about you?

The Canine Protective Dog Goggles

 

How often are you driving along on a hot sunny day and you see a car in front driving with the window down and the dog looking out? You may even be the owner of a pet dog that likes to do this. If so then today’s pet gadget may be useful to you, the Canine Protective Googles.

Try looking out the window when you are a passenger in a car doing a moderate speed and you will feel the air rushing past your face. Whilst it may feel nice and cool you down there is a couple of problems. Firstly the air rushing past your face and particularly your eyes could result in them drying out and getting sore. Secondly, there is a chance that there could be some road dirt or dust that gets in them again making them irritated and sore. Well if this can happen to you then it can happen to your dog as well. That is why the Canine Protective Goggles (or maybe we should call them doggles) have been designed.

The Canine Protective Goggles are actually issued to military dogs working around dirty environments to protect their eyes. Manufactured with shatterproof polycarbonate lenses and rubber framework, the goggles also work as sunglasses providing 100% blockage of dangerous UV rays.

If you like the look of them why not treat your pet with these dog goggles, they have been designed with a deep lens and wide nose bridge to accommodate most dog breeds. The Canine Protective Goggles retail for only $19.95,and that is cheaper than a trip to the vets to get something flushed from their eyes.
