Russia's FSA is buying Typewriters so bypass electronic spying.
Of course bugging typewriters was set to a fine art in the good old days of the Cold War, or reading typewriter ribbons, etc..

I regret getting rid of mom's old manual typewriter.
It was so convenient - set the case down, flip it open, and start typing.
Gotta find a replacement...

Garage sales. They're all over the place. My son has an east german portable (NO idea how the original owner got it
ecret: ). He likes playing with it every now and then. Me.. I pull out a candle, the parchament paper, and the calligraphy pens. At least twice a year to write the obligatory love poem for my wonderful wife on Valentine's Day and our Anniversary.
