@weekend_editor It is always good to know that there are still other fountain pen fanciers. We may be light on the nib, but the “force” is strong with us. 😀 I was a typewriter nerd, too. I had a 1950s Smith Corona portable with pastel paint. I don’t recall the model. This was also grandpa’s. But I never touched it again, after I got my Mac 512K. Now that I think of it, I do miss that visceral, aural, tactile feel—especially swinging that oh-so-satisfying carriage return arm. @johnrogers.bsky.social
