Now you could force (and break) the keyboard, but there was a certain range of pressure which would not lock up the keyboard and when the distributor came around, the key would "fall away" from your finger nicely. I got quite used to this and came to like it. I also thought the 33 keyboard had a fairly good "feel", particularly when compared to the IBM 2741 which I detested. Now, of course, I learned to type on a manual typewriter, none of these new fangled electrical things and so was used to having to put a certain amount of force into it and used to controlling the amount of force as this affected the print quality on a manual typewriter. As I sit here typing this on a laptop, I'm not sure I could do it anymore as well. I haven't used a manual typewriter in years. Ah the good ole daze.... Chris AN GETTO$;DUMP;RUN,ALGOL,TAPE $$
