Where to buy a Selectric?

Interesting. I don't think that would bother me; my typing is so heavily pipelined already that that feedback is not important. My own estimate is that, depending on various factors, the pipeline between my mind and my fingertips can be as large as a half-dozen keystrokes; add in the delay between my eyes seeing something (or my ears hearing it, or my fingers feeling it, or whatever) and whatever mental process is generating the keystrokes reacting, and it's more like 20 keystrokes between making a mistake and the pipe being fully flushed so that fixing it is possible. (Rather annoying when it comes to fixing mistakes.) Instant feedback is not only not necessary, it's not even really possible, because of that pipeline between mind and fingertips. Indeed, I've been known to type significant amounts almost completely open-loop. This paragraph, for example, I got two lines into before the display got past "Indee". (This is mostly because of quadratic behaviour in some screen updating code; someday I may have another crack at improving it.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
