Who makes a decent typewriter?

[glen]

The girls at the office want a typewriter for some of the things they do.
It seems like the $100 ones break and don't last very long.
Maybe we ought to get an IBM Wheel Writer off of EBAY.

Do they still make those things?

Brother?

It seems like when I took typing class in HS, they were using Swintec. From what I remember, these were supposed to be pretty good electric typewriters back then.

Uh... Never mind, you can get a damn good Dell for the price of these things.

Many pre-printed forms need to be filled out. Typewriters work great for that.

A what?

Smith-Corona, Brother, IBM...all make good typewriters. Though honestly I dont think that you'll find one that is as indestructable as what you want, they just dont have the need to make a super good quality typewriter anymore.
