That is SO cool
One cool thing about inheriting an ancient office is inheriting cool toys. A typewritter, of course, but also fun things like this:
My parents, of course, had one of these when I was small. But they never let me use it.
Yesterday I had reason to label something. So out came the labeler. My student assistant had never seen one, but once I started using it, noted that the labels looked like that retro-looking font you get on some computers.
"That's so cool!" said the student assistant, "you can, like, label things... This would be good for language learning. You could label everything in your house... why don't we still have these?"
(Um... because we have laser printers and sticker labels now?)
Still, I couldn't help but agree, these machines are way cool.
