I still have my Corona Model 3 typewriter. Built circa 1920. Just "Corona"; it was before they merged with Smith. It belonged to my grandfather. It still works. I once used it to type a paper for middle/high school, when my PC crapped out for some reason (I had, of course, waited until the night before it was due). It has two shift keys: CAP and FIG, the later of which does numbers and punctuation. The shift keys actually shift the entire carriage/platen assembly up. > Today, most college kids don't know what a typewriter is ... Why, when I was growing up, we didn't even have air! ;-) -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
