"...technology for the English major in us to write that great mystery novel we've toying with..."

We've toying with? More like: "we're toying with" or "we've been toying with."

At any rate, I think its funny that they are buying them from Swintec who I can only imagine has the motto "swindling coppers of of money with every sale"
They make clear typewriter, which would be so 1992 if it wasn't so 1982- they cost mare than a netbook (from $160 - $800).

Have to agree with Sarig updating for the sake of updating is pointless.

I also wouldn't knock using a terminal emulator, sometimes that is all you need and can be quite efficient.]]>Jul 15th 2009 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/nyc-keeps-ahead-of-the-curve-invests-1-million-into-typewriter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/nyc-keeps-ahead-of-the-curve-invests-1-million-into-typewriter/

No, seriously though. It's silly to argue the advantages of a computer over a typewriter. They should enter the data into a fancy computing machine, store that information in a database, index it, make it search-able over their internal network, run analytics on the data, gain new insights, print it as many times as they wish without it losing quality, back the data up in geographically disperse data centers, and archive it. Or they can just write it down and put it in a drawer.

Not do-able on carbons and likely not allowed due to changing of official documents (i.e., some kind of evidence tampering).

Alternate response: "White Out" not allowed as it is racist; e.g., when California required computer manufacturers to change master/slave statements in computer documentation about hard drives and RAIDs some years ago. ]]>Jul 15th 2009 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/nyc-keeps-ahead-of-the-curve-invests-1-million-into-typewriter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/nyc-keeps-ahead-of-the-curve-invests-1-million-into-typewriter/Jul 15th 2009 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/nyc-keeps-ahead-of-the-curve-invests-1-million-into-typewriter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/nyc-keeps-ahead-of-the-curve-invests-1-million-into-typewriter/Jul 15th 2009 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/nyc-keeps-ahead-of-the-curve-invests-1-million-into-typewriter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/nyc-keeps-ahead-of-the-curve-invests-1-million-into-typewriter/
