I'm always wishing my keyboard was <i>quieter</i> not noisier! Typewriters are definitely sexier looking than most keyboards. When we were in Buenos Aires we came across this incredibly beautiful early twentieth century portable typewriter. We considered buying it as art, but it was too expensive and too heavy. That’s hilarious. I’m always wishing my keyboard was quieter not noisier!

I didn't actually type anything, but the solid mechanical rhythm seemed very official to me--it's what I imagined 'real' writing to sound like. So a few months ago, on a bad writing day, I found some software to simulate the sounds of various classic typewriters on my laptop. Unfortunately all that noise turned out to be annoying and not the least bit helpful. When I was small I liked to make up stories while banging away on my father’s typewriter.
