Cows just love typewriters

Innovation?

A few days ago, Apple introduced a new Macbook Pro. The laptop computer with a $2200 price tag already proved to be rather irrepairable: The case is sealed with proprietary screws, the battery is glued on, the entire screen unit is one piece, if the high-resolution screen breaks, the cover with camera, antennas etc. needs to be replaced - at immense cost, probably. The SSD-memory is an entirely new, proprietary type, and the RAM is glued on. If anything goes wrong with your expensive laptop, they want you to visit the Apple store for costly repairs. They did their best at hindering you from fixing the computer yourself. This is a 1923 Corona 3. The ribbon advancing mechanism is pretty complicated, yet I was able to repair it easily. There are "service holes" to insert a screw- driver if you need to fix a screw inside the shift mechanism. Everything is easy to repair and practical. For decades, typewriter ribbons were the same 33mm wide. Most typewriters share the excact same spools, only few have different solutions, for example the smaller spools of this Corona 3 - but it‘: only a matter of respooling. Apple even changed a magnet connection for a cable with their newest Macbook - $25, please. maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Corona 3 This awesome post was brought to you by the mighty Typosphere
