I used to use it for all my angry letters...and awful poetry...

 A "trivia and reference" note on the episode entry for Let It Bleed on the SuperWiki:

H.P. Lovecraft is seen typing his manuscript on a typewriter. these were mechanical devises in use up until the late 20th century, which were used to print text onto paper before computers

My god, I'm old.

Guys...I still own a typewriter....and I'd use it too, if ribbons were easier to come by. (Ribbons are what hold the ink in a typewriter...like a very fine stamp pad. Stamps are still used by bank tellers...bank tellers are people you used to go to in order to deposit or withdraw money from your bank account....I could do this all day...)

Computers are so convenient, but I miss the "clack clack clack" of typewriters...

I miss the *ding* at the end of a line and the manual way you put it in place for the next one - it always made you feel so accomplished. Computers don't go *ding* enough - or rather, they do it for the wrong reasons.

Computers:
*ding* - something is wrong with your computer.

Typewriters:
*ding* - Look at you go! Such an accomplished writer, you are!
