As a stand alone the Reliance Premier is a solid machine.  If you have one just put some time between it and a classic like a Royal 10. The Reliance is that second car… the one you go to the store in and the daily commute to work car. The car gets you where you want to go… the one you don’t always admit you own. But… it does get the job done… as such it has a place in your home.
Some days you just want to get out a classic heavy-weight like the Royal 10 (1928) and let it do its thing. A truly fantastic machine.
106 years old and with a little exercise the Empire Typewriter is starting to shape up nice.
I thought of calling this “For whom the bell tolls…” but I believe it’s been over used.  Type Oh bells… comes with its own slogan: “The place for fast food thoughts”
Or …Â ” The typewriter always rings twice…”
After one year… I feel thankful. For all who have read and commented you made my year great and I am grateful. From my heart I thank you and wish for you all the best of times. Always.

Just feeling good… I feel like passing on a smile today. I just did… just go to a mirror and you can see it.

Almost hard to believe just how long computers have been around. I worked on one at work in 1977 and bought my first PC for my home in 1990. Then there was that movie Desk Set with Hepburn and Tracy that was made 55 years ago (1957) about computers being brought into the work place. I keep wanting to think of computers and the PC as something that just occurred but “not true” books about intelligent computers “Moon is a Harsh Mistress” dates back to 1965… TANSTAAFL! Their ain’t no such thing as a free lunch… (I find it amazing that spell check did not see TANSTAAFL as a misspelled word. )
This time one year ago I owned just two typewriters and was typing letters to friends. Little did I know…
Although my first letters were typed on either a 1960’s Olympia or a 1925 Underwood… I recreate parts of my letters on a 1956 Underwood that was next in line for use.
