Hello Listers: Although I have been on the list for some time, this is my first submission. I also use my typewriter regularly. I have recently purchased a new Brother typewriter from Wal-Mart. I use it for addressing envelopes and writing short notes, especially in birthday and other types of cards. I then use my Optacon to check my typing. I also have a raised line drawing kit and used it for math in high school and for learning how to sign my name.
