NBC had a segment about US swimmer Ryan Murphy being inspired by former Olympic medal winner Aaron Peirsol, and they showed Peirsol typing a letter to Murphy on a manual typewriter. Very funny and cool.

Erasable Bond - the only typing paper I used but I had terrible accuracy.
Does everyone know that the mother of Mike Nesmith of The Monkeys invented Liquid Paper. She was an executive secretary and a holiday window painter. Liquid Paper was the main correction fluid when I was in high school and college. Dried quickly and was pretty permanent, unless you put it on too thick and it flaked when you typed over it.

I loved typing on both the Selectric and the Olivetti something or other. I typed way more accurately on those than I do on a computer.
This is the one I used to type on back in the 80's and I loved it. https://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Electric...-/131136623914 I don't want to hijack Demeris' thread, but did anyone else take shorthand? I never really got good at it but I loved writing it. I contemplated getting a second-hand book and practicing it again. If I could get really good at it, I believe there is a tiny niche market as a freelancer for this skill.
