A colleague of mine saw one of this and he called it " junk". My heart! I was stunned for a minute, and for that entire minute, I said to myself, this "junk" made all my term papers, researches and thesis way back college. Back then printer was only for rich kids/people. Type writer is less expensive, it is heavy and bulky but at least id doesn't need electricity. It is portable and would work with just a bond paper and one's mind.
