I can actually see the point of a typewriter.

If someone involved in underhanded business gets an email or an electronically letter, they might think there's an electronic trail.

If the letter was hand typed, they'll know it's not quite as traceable

I've read that Putin's security people use typewriters for just this reason.

That's weird to me, because accounting was one of the first fields to dive into computers. My grandpa started his career in the 1950s as an accountant, and ended it as an IT manager.

Whoa... I am an old shit who does miss her electronic typewriter that actually produced a product in real time without having to rely on cloud/blueshit connections. but okay, since you probably have not had a real time experience... it is reasonable that you don't relate. Understand... everytime I try to print post op instructions at work, my computer can't figure out what printer to send it to so I have to select one out of like 30 printers it lists. This is not convenient nor helpful.
