I couldn't really appreciate this...

I couldn't really appreciateithis... On the seeond day of ITAM, my colleagues must have sensed a distarbance in the force. Or it was just co- inoidence. However, when I arriveä after noon‚ after a unsuccessful typehunt, they enthusiasically greeted me and told me they had a present for me. I quickly sensed it would be typewriter-related, and then I spotted the huäe plastic bag; trq had there, sitting on the floor. Insiüe was a behemoth — a red IBM electric. We hauled it onto a desK‚ plugged in the power cord, I triggered the power switch — and the famous idle hum resounded. Sadly‚ that was the only noise the type— writer emitted, when I pressed the kegs, they resisted. Great depression. Everyone tried some levers and switch— es, bat the sleeping giant couldn't be awakened. With a closer look at the typeheed, I also realiesed that the type Container — I don't know if it's either a ballhead or a daisy wheel — and a ribben were missing. Only the correction ribbon was stiil there. The colleaöues told me they had found it on the road, with a siän saying "to take-away" and helplessly cowered under february snow. I thouöht about takinä the leviathan home‚ but since I don't KHOW anything about IBMS, the type element and the ribbon were missing, it didn't have a case, it was pretty filthy (a colleaäue who ran the finger over the red shell had black finäers efterwards) and I'm not a particular fan of electric typewriters‚ I Qecided to leave it et worx. I don't know what will happen next, maybe the cleanind staff alreedy removeu it? Did I sacrifice a poor typewrier? Or die this serve it riäht‚ the stupid IBM? I don't know. What Q0 you think?
