Typewriters?

I seem to recall people mentioning, here, typewriters - good old non-computerized typing machines. I know someone who is looking for one. Doesn't need to be fancy; indeed, fancy is a disadvantage here, or I would have already set said person up with a computer+printer solution. "Electric, but not electronic." It does need to be functional, though; the idea is to use it, not put it on display or suchlike. Anyone got one and willing to let go of it for some reasonable amount? I can write a cheque for the machine plus shipping and scare up a shipping address, if there's reason to. (I phrase it that way because the place it'd be going is in a very rural area of western Canada, and I'm not sure what shipping methods would be workable - but I can find out from the putative recipient.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse(a)rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
