0 Points, Typewriter Hunter

Why typewriters? You know . . . watch collectors have a term that I found strangely attractive: "WIS", which stands for Watch Idiot Savant. I guess because watches in and of themselves are kind of pointless. They are demonstrations of an urge to conquer a physical domain that isn't even 100% verified scientifically, let alone conquerable or controllable. But yet there are the mechanical aspects, the sublime clockworks of the great masters like Breguet which are often breathtakingly beautiful to behold. There are the sensual curves of the metal, the gorgeous melding of form and function. It becomes a fetishized object. Typewriters are kind of like that, but better . . . far better.
