Thanks for the memory, and thanks for the photo KindleDude.

Maggie, thanks! The photo is actually one from a university archive, but that is the machine I used to have. One of them, anyway--I also had a manual portable for a while, but I don't remember the model. Yes, I do remember the bell when you got to the end of a line. I think all that noise was normal back then, no one thought much of it. It's only now in retrospect that we do. My theory, anyway.
