Get Back to Work - Neatorama

Okay, if you had Memorial Day off work, pat yourself on the back and then get ready for work Tuesday. I’m sure someone will be there to tell you what to do, even if it’s not who you expect. If your luck is anything like mine, it will be some fresh graduate who’s related to the business owner. This comic is from Chris Hallbeck at Maximumble. -via reddit

It looks remarkably like the Swintec I had back in the late 80's. Of course, I kept my spell-check behind and to the right and usually had a cup of coffee on it.

It's translucent because it's a throwback to the 1990s, and lots of consumer electronics were translucent back then. It was a common fad. Why hasn't it been updated? Well, why would anyone update a typewriter?

For use in prisons so contraband cannot be hidden inside. I have a clear vintage Boombox around here someplace and I have seen clear TV sets in the past.

It's certainly priced for government agencies. $584?! For a TYPEWRITER!?

Like anyone would notice if a piece was missing, or am I missing something?
