One thought on “The revolution will not be teletyped…”
I look forward to your further thoughts. The loss of Ames is a blow, particularly to typewriter repair shops, which often needed Ames' services to recover platens. I guess it shows that typewriting is not quite as self-sufficient as I like to think — though still much more so than computing. The other people we depend on are ribbon manufacturers. I think that we will find ways to carry on, though, even if they go out of business.
