    even into the 1990s i knew a few companies that kept typewriters around as they were better/easier for typing up addresses on envelopes.

    Wonder how well that worked on N.C.R. forms where line spacing was not predictable...

      Pre printed forms sucked. Daisy wheels had limited platen control to advance the paper a short bit to hit a specific part of the page. Dot matrix a little better but goddamn so much noise

    Humorous. Not lost on me that the memo was done on a typewriter. :-). But yeah. Dogfood your product. Can’t convince someone to use the product you don’t use yourself.
