I like the idea of people who use typewriters gathering in the same place on a regular basis. I think we should do this every month.

On another note, I should have some typecasts up soon.

    Love the Hermes! Is that yours?

    Looks just like mine except for the ribbon and keyboard layout.

    No, it's Peter's (http://manualentry.blogspot.com/)
    I liked the machine, but not the typeface. "Modern futuristic" typeface.

    How is the keyboard layout different?

    Its a French-Swiss QWERTZ keyboard. So, I have to remember to flop my 'z' and 'y' keys when typing so I get a handful of 'layz' for 'lazy' and 'awaz' for 'away'. Its also lacking a dollar sign, but I do get a lot of French, Swiss and German special keys, which is kind of cool.

    Yeah, I am not much for that techno typeface, but a lot of other typospherians love it. I'm more of a pica guy.

    It went well. I'm looking forward to breaking in the place and having it be THE typewriter cafe.

    The next type-in will be February 19. I'm going to actually promote it this time.
