I'll forward your supercilious and ill-informed
comment to the folks I know who do in fact use an M100; I'm sure they will be
amused...
BS.
I've been a professional full-time journalist for 20 years. No one in
their right mind is using anything older than a last-gen laptop. Maybe
two generations if they're poor like me.

Shack M100 ... still used by some writers for the very reason you mention.
That is not true.
It was an urban legend in the 1990s that a handful of old farts in the
entirely sportswriting industry (thousands of writers overall) may
"still" be using their Model 100s. I'm sure if you looked hard enough
some of them still used typewriters too.
In 2017? It's ridiculous to even speculate.
