His parents got it for him to "help him with his homework". He used to type his papers on that membrane keyboard. Meanwhile, another friend had a black vintage hammer-type typewriter. Typing papers was actually easier for him that for my friend with the 400. My mom was a secretary. She had an IBM selectric. World's loudest typewriter. She could type 90wpm on that thing. Oh man, what a sound. It sat on a foam mat to try to absorb some of the vibration. I used that for my papers until I got an original IBM 5150 and my school got a much of Apple 2Es. Membrane keyboards for computers should have never been invented. ATM machine, yes. Computer, no.
