At the time it was very confusing to me, to type on a tiny screen and then print that sentence. I remember seeing it once and hating it.

    The kerning on “buy me a car” Is interesting.

    It’s also interesting that you can clearly tell they used two spaces after a period, which “was the style at the time.”

    What's great with these nowadays is that you can still use them even if you don't find the cartridges. Just buy thermal paper, and here you type!

    Its calling them typewriters but I kinda feel this type of thing was eventually called a word processor.
