[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 513539"] My Dad had an old manual portable (with the red and black ribbon), and when I started writing he brought it out of the garage for me to learn on. State offices didn't get the latest and greatest, so the changing head typewriters I used were at his office. I did have a portable electric typewriter I got as a present but I think it was a Brother or Selectric or some such. ;) ETA: Mom knew shorthand and her desk was full of fascinating things (to me as a kid) like stenographers notebooks, onionskin paper, carbon paper, those erasers with the brushes on the ends you mentioned (wish I could find those today, they're great for artwork, too).
