I have a couple of old, manual typewriters in the basement and a fully electronic typewriter that I haven't used since the '90s. I still have very fond thoughts of my old Olivetti Editor II electric typewriter, but one of the letter keys came loose and there weren't any replacement parts available at the time. My problem was (and is) that I'm prone to making simple mistakes when typing -- I went through a lot of White Out and correction tape back in the day.

These days, when I just want to get words down as quickly as possible, I use a text editor. I prefer VI. After the text is down I can copy and paste it into a word processor document and worry about formatting, etc.
