Hah! Your old co-worker's setup sounds a lot like mine. And as archaic as it is, I like this little Brother typewriter I have. It's so handy sometimes.
OMG, that sounds like when Taylor was little and had come into the office. I didn't have a computer of my own back then (this was close to 13 years ago) and she looked at the typewriter and asked, "Where's the TV?" Meaning 'where's the monitor' and I almost died laughing. My mom was able to type close to 200 words per minute on an old IBM Wheelwriter. I was always impressed by that.
We had computers by the time I got into college but they were nothing like what we have today. :D
