Quoted a movie line by Frank Navasky (YOU’VE GOT MAIL (Warner Bros., 1998))“Now listen to this.
The gentle and soothing lullaby of a piece of machinery so perfect –” -
Acquired 1977 Olympia Report de Luxe Electric Portable Typewriter (SKE Model) (Olympia-Werke AG)
Along with Ron Rosenbaum, Steven Levy, Patricia Highsmith, and the fictional Frank Navasky of You’ve Got Mail fame, I have joined the Quiet Cult of the Olympia Report de Luxe Electric Typewriter.Serial Number: 46-0171787
Olympia Pica No. 12 typeface, 10 pitch, 2.6m/m, 6 lines/inch, keyset tabulator, half-space spacing, vertical spacing, portable, bichrome, segment shift, American keyboard, 44 keys, 88 characters, white and gray plastic body with grey hood and gray plastic keys with white characters
Manufactured in Wilhelmshaven, GermanyI acquired this at thrift for $21.95 on 2026-05-10 for Mother’s Day in immaculate condition! It’s as if someone used it to type up a few essays then put it in the case for 49 years. Other than some minor wear, this may be the singularly cleanest typewriter I’ve ever purchased. As my first typebar electric Olympia, I was so looking forward to taking it apart and giving it a full clean, oil, and adjust, but beyond wiping off some exterior dust, this machine really needs no work. I’m both disappointed and elated at the same time.

I did not know AOL still offered dial-up service!
"AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after its debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day"
It's the end of an era...that I thought ended a long time ago.

The only reason I'm mentioning AOL is because I have You've Got Mail on in the background.

Shortly after the shuttering of #eWorld, Apple released HideEworld, a software extension for #NewtonOS which disabled the stationery and email transport used to access eWorld and the NewtonMail online services.

Hello! Day 19 for Diamine Inkvent is up on my blog:
https://www.cheryllindojones.com/personal/diamine-inkvent-2023-day-19
I'm happy that after the stumbling start of this year's Inkvent, the last several have been inks that I genuinely like. I'm also learning that there are shades of certain colors I haven't historically liked that do appeal to me (greens and browns).

I love updates.
Software updates. Newsletters. Blog posts. New emails. Physical letters in the mail. Service announcements. RSS feed refreshes.
New info edits on forum or general posts online. Manga and comic updates/new releases.I just love when I get some new bit of info on something I'm following.
Also I just love getting mail that is nice, from friends or online orders or postcards.
