re: #86 Nojay UK

My daily driver keyboard has a “Designed for Windows 95” marker on the back. I don’t think the company that made it, Olivetti, is still in the computer business.

I don’t think Olivetti’s in any business any longer, are they? They were making their typewriters in the U.S. for awhile (I want to say some place in Pennsylvania), and at the end I think they moved their typewriters to Spain, back when it was cheap to produce stuff there. But the only Olivettis one sees any more tend to be letteras. I’ve got a 33 which is what Cormac McCarthy typed all his stuff on. The 22 is the cutest little portable typewriter you could ever ask for, and does a pretty good job to my remembrance. They were the “Vietnam war correspondent” typewriter of choice because you really could slam one in a pack and head off anywhere in country.
