Jon still has his manual Hermes from his college days in the early 70's. My mom used to have one of those jazzy red Olivetti's from the late 60's. I don't know what happened to it but if I ever find it I'll definitely hold onto it. Before that she had a real heavy Royal from the 1950's--I could barely whack the keys on it when I was a kid.
