I have to admit, a few years ago I purchased an IBM Selectric, just because I had always wanted one.

I guess you never forget your first love. :)

I don’t have one, but I have a soft spot for a Selectric.

If I could get a PC keyboard that had the same feel, I’d be in heaven. Closest thing I ever had was an OEM PS/2 keyboard.

I have a Correcting Selectric II. It was my typewriter for more than 22 years as a secretary. When my employer went into PCs, it offered some of the typewriters to the employees. So I took my Selectric home. It worked for another 10 years. I still have it, but it needs work and I can’t find a repair person around here. I loved that machine and still do.
