Do any of you have typewriters? Are they still worth having,

I have a typewriter, but I never write on it. It's kind of a neat decoration or conversation piece, but in terms of actually writing on it? Absolutely not. I wrote about 4 or 5 pages of a story and it's noisy, a pain to format, and just cumbersome.

A typewriter is the worst of both worlds, there's no reason to use one in lieu of a computer or writing by hand and it offers no advantages.
It's a cool decorative piece that you could use here and there to write letters or whatever, but long formwriting is unnecessarily cumbersome

I have a typewriter because for some reason I literally can't write "good" fiction on a pc. I need to feel the words. Might be autistic but nothing but the truth

she'll love it and never use it.

I have one, and I use it; I use it because it more reliably has ink than my printer for writing formal letters. I am an abject failure at life, evidently, and that is probably the only circumstances in which anyone still uses one.

btw if she ever uses it to write a personal letter to her, dump her ass for not knowing basic etiquette. Unless you're into that high protocol nonsense.

Buy her a nice pen instead.

to *you
See? Failure at life. I'd have to retype that whole page or buy white-out.

I got her a fountain pen a couple years ago.

I have a good Olivetti, but using typewriters is edgy and hipster as fuck. So, yeah, that means it's fucking pretentious.

An electric typewriter is one thing, using a manual one is just awful
