Verwendet ihr noch eine mechanische Schreibmaschine?
Hab selbst eine Reiseschreibmaschine, und ich könnte sogar drauf schreiben, finde aber immer wieder eine Ausrede… was ist nur aus mir geworden? 🙂
Er hat sich den Porsche nur gekauft weil er ihn haben wollte. Jetzt steht das Teil oftmals einfach so in der Garage ohne nutzen rum.
Welche beschränkungen gibt es noch in diesem alter?
Hi. Ich würde gerne wo man am besten anfängt zu lernen wie man malt bzw. Zeichnet. Also was ich als erstes lernen sollte um darauf aufzu bauen.
Ich würde gerne auf das Afterlife Konzert im September in nyc, doch alles ist ausverkauft. deren Tickets sind schon Monate vorher ausgebucht. gibt es Seiten, wo ich die bekommen kann also 3. Händler?
Das sind alles erfundene Clans, aber sagen wir nur vom Namen her
Hi ich bin Honigtau, die Heilerin des Flockenclans. Ich suche Warrior Cats Namen für Jungen (z.B. Bienenjunges, Wachsjunges, Honigjunges, Wabenjunges) => also welche, die irgendwie zusammenpassen. 💖 Möge der Sternenclan eure Wege erleuchten 💫.
I haven’t been using it for a long time, it seems to have gone down at some move…
However, if you don’t need any more nowadays, a PC and a printer are much better and in terms of correction a lot more advantageous…
Edit: I actually found the old trunk in the basement today…
I have 9 typewriters at the time, on which I write occasionally.
Especially on my Remington portable 5T, my Hermes 2000 and my Corona 3, I like to write while I like to write on my Mignon 4, for example.
But in itself I do not use my typewriters so often and do not collect them for this reason 🙂
Nine machines? Wow, there’s something else. Great! Good luck for you and your oldtimer
Thank you. Jap, nine machines and hopefully over the next few years a few more 🙂
Nine typewriters? Wow, my envy is sure to you.
With a little patience and a lot of space you get to nine machines faster than you think:) you have four? What models do you have if I can ask?
Writing? You mean a script typeface? I don’t have that yet:) such a line or drop cap script would be a great thing. They are found in older models (older than 1940) unfortunately only rarely and especially the models have done to me.
What’s wrong with your Atlas? Maybe I can give you a tip, I’m lucky to learn from someone how to revise, repair and maintain typewriters. Depending on what one might try,
Once the Olympia Monica, then the Atlas S12 (this can write, but somehow it’s a little pussy. I want to try if the manco can be repaired with a new ribbon), then another Olympia, but the Splendid and last but not least a Triumph Adler Twen T 180.
But I love writing at the Olympia Monica; I love the haptics of this typewriter. On occasion: A great advantage have typewriters compared to a PC: you do not catch a computer virus …;-)
I am not quite sure whether I should take answer 1 or just the chosen one. I have four typewriters, two of them are mechanical. I prefer to write on the Olympia Monica (can now also be young to the 60 years).
The “problem” in the selection was for me that I sometimes have phases in which I type (and therefore quite a lot) every day, and then have phases in which I prefer to write with hand and filler (in which then logically quite little).
It is still in the basement and to be used a new ribbon should be used.
My parents had already changed to an electronic typewriter in the 90s, because there were still improvements in volatility.
As far as technology is concerned, I am very conservative and still use an analog mains telephone and no cell phone, but a mechanical typewriter is nostalgic and hasn’t been up to date for decades.
That’s brave, so without a phone, but I understand you can organize it. Mostly the children are mauling, these WhatsApp addicts. I was always against mobile phones, but at the moment I almost do everything with the smartphone, as the head of a large team, is no longer different. But privately I live almost shielded from the radio network, outside as inside…
I use them not only because of the fun, sometimes you have to fill out forms and this is the easiest and most readable with a “right” typewriter. You can easily adjust the position of the fields and type them in.
A computer doesn’t make it so easy, you have to measure and try to hit the fields. Or you can scan the form, use it in PowerPoint as a side background and set text fields. This is only worthwhile for “complicated” forms. If you only have to make name, address and a few crosses, then you can use the typewriter much faster.
Here I sometimes go one step further, then I use an electromechanical Siemens T100 teleprinter. It can be aligned exactly like a typewriter and then you can send the stuff you print in the fields from the PC to the teleprinter via Copy&Paste.
Great, I call it creative and free spirit! Use what makes sense.
What? Finally, the written things are supposed to be somehow in the computer. And write with the machine (or hand) and then scan later and convert so-la-la via OCR isn’t bullshit.
This is just part of the truth, you realize that you have no access to this type of writing. You can think very well about a typewriter and give yourself more effort to write very specifically – because you can’t delete/improve so easily and quickly. Like colour films, photographing a meaningless stuff that was previously held, in contrast to image inflation today, one keeps the writing on a mechanical machine from taping without meaning. Also because you get slower forward…In addition, you feel writing more valuable and more important, the thoughts are almost “softened in stone”…
… in the basement.
Previously, at the time of the needle printer (the sound fingers of the thousand needle stitches 🙂 or even as replacement cartridges for inkjet printers were still expensive, however, I used them to create the side audio CD, DVD labels on the purpose form labels.
But she’s still here… and who knows the next black-out is probably coming. Then you can write diary 🙂
I have never used & not seen in real
What, never seen? Oh, man, I feel just old… 🙂
I’m just too young haha.
Hahaha, I thought the one or the other answered that! My wife takes my off and on my with the students to the first class as a demo. The LIEBEN part. For them, that’s alien.
No. You can hang on to nostalgic things, but there are better things to write texts.
Yes, but because I wrote my first book on her, I kept her – there’s a past in her like a distant whisper… 🙂
You too? I also tipped my first masterpiece for the waste paper ton on a mechanical typewriter. At the time, I was fixed by the scary-grossing novelist John Sinclair, which, as a teenager, made my wish to be an author.
Yeah, that’s different. But I wouldn’t want to use them anymore.
I admire that. So that focuses on working on a project. Even though it may sound strange for you, but there you (and all others who can) have my greatest respect.
I think it’s different: Since I would like to work in entertainment, but not want to earn my money by writing novels (but nevertheless offer manuscripts), I usually write my stories with the hand and filler, rework, then tap my typewriter, rework, then tap my second version, etc.pp.
And only when I’m satisfied, I use a language software (Dragon Naturally speaking) and read the text that is then also transferred to my text processor (Textmaker by Softmaker Office).
Since I offer this version publishers, I already use my text processing for the purpose of standard page adjustment and error correction, which the “Drachen” then causes (he is good, but sometimes he just skins Mumpitz, especially on behalf).
Yes, I wrote and published a textbook in the health sector, which was in 2006. The first version I wrote with pencil in notebooks, then I typed the whole reworked with my travel writing machine and before submitting to the publisher I reworked it again on Word 2000. Two years passed from the initial concept to the publishing house. I took a break between two jobs and moved to Bavaria to a remote house. Was a great time, really an event… meanwhile I’m just writing on the computer.
I wrote my first texts by hand. In mathbooks no longer required.
But I “multiplied” one of my first books with the typewriter. Above all, had the reason that my handwriting is rather one that would go through as independent. Okay, these were poems, so not so much text… 😉
