I'm listening, but it took sometime for the sound to travel this far, despite the link from Wikipedia to your site (topic "Typecasting (blogging)").
There's definitely a romance to the old typer, a word meaning typewriter that I never knew till I read it in stories by Charles Bukowski, some of whose manuscript (typescript) poems can be found in this wonderful collection.
I reproduced one in this post on my blog but the Bukowski site keeps changing the links to prevent such linking. At any rate, I did transcribe the poem (a lovesong to his typer), which ends with:
when typing I'm immortal.
well, maybe not immortal. but habitually this old typewriter and this old man live well together.
