The next great collectible. Here is a good site to learn about these old contraptions. :)
For Kindle and with free ePub version. Only $9.49 Great reading.
Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

You have no idea how I long for the feel of my old IBM Selectric II typewriter. Would that someone would invent a computer keyboard that * really* feels the same. Most are downright spongy to the touch; but even the clickety-click keyboards don’t do justice. What I want is a keyboard with the same heft and tactile response as the cast-iron Selectric II.
I feel, however, that I am living in a world where no one understands what I am talking about. 🙁
Try this one…

Bless you, my son (Joe)…. 🙂
It looks like it doesn’t come cheap, but it would be worth it if it fulfills this profound need I have for a quality keyboard.
By the way, it mentions “Support for Dvorak Typists,” so I guess it will work with this blog. Maybe John will order one and tell us if it is any good. Maybe they would send him one free for testing, what with his being a friggin’ celebrity and all…. 🙂

Good keyboard, long life batteries and now enough room.
But a good keyboard on a manual doesn’t replace a good
fountain pen, though some of the new roller-balls write
well, but the ink runs in the bath.
