Much has been written about
writing on the iPad. Those tapping out more than a few lines often opt for
a Bluetooth keyboard. But the cool kids get one of these:
The
USB Typewriter.
You can star in your own personal film noir fantasy with this USB-powered input device that works with any USB-capable computer, including the iPad. When mounted in back and connected, the iPad rides the carriage* from right to left as you type. Best of all, it registers a carriage return automatically and places the cursor beneath the previous line.
The best part is that there are
several models to choose from, ranging in price from US$400-500. DIY types can order
a $200 kit to convert their own typewriter. We love it.
*Youngn's: The "carriage" is where the "paper" used to go and get struck by the "ink ribbon." Ask an old person. He'll tell you all about it.
