This article doesn't annoy the crap out of you?
"There are only a few repairmen who still know how to oil a machine, replace a tired ribbon, or realign tangled keys."
Gee, I wonder how I replace my ribbons without a qualified repairman!
And 950 dollars for an Olivetti Valentine!!!!!!!!!?????? Down with this analog renaissance.
