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?

 

[isekii]

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.
