Old gadgets.

Old gadgets.
For example, I remember fliers being cranked out for my grade school on one of these type devices.

Anyone familiar with the "Mimeograph" series? 

My parents also had a Morse Code clicker that was handed down to them.

I also still love the feel of rotary dial phones. 

And I also had an 8 track tape player as a kid. 

But my most favorite old gadget was the old iron key "Royal" brand typewriter.

I loved cassette tapes and vinyl records.

Hated rotary dial phones (often mis-dialing or hurting your finger)

I remember helping a teacher to mimeographs. I still remember the smell of the chemical and the warmth of the paper after.

My mother had a manual Underwood typewriter that I taught myself to type on, when I was 10. I loved it, but always wanted an IBM Selectric.
