Jeez I really don’t miss typewriters. Absolutely hated doing papers on the those things. I was correcting more than writing. Word Processors were my salvation

Just for an interesting conversation… you notice how novels have ballooned in size since typewriters went away? I feel like tracing the Harry Potter books is an illustration of this. Something like 200 pages for the first one in the early 90s to 800 by the end. (Too lazy to actually look up page counts).
