Look at thrift/corporate surplus stores, and get a Correcting Selectric II - quite
possibly the finest typewriter made. While you're at the surplus store, get a box of
the ribbons (both typing and correction). Niether my dad nor myself have had to replace a
belt yet, and he has a CSII from his office that dates to 1978. Excellent feel to the
keyboard, good action response (typewriters are like pianos in this respect, some are
good, some bad).
