  2. A lovely interview, thanks Richard. It was perfect timing - I just finished your book last night! I'm only a recent convert to typewriters, so am slowly catching up.

    I found the Dvorak questions quite interesting. I changed to the Colemak layout on my work computer due to wrist pain, and simply can no longer touch type Qwerty on my keyboard. But I do not have that issue on my typewriters. It's a combination of being a different machine (muscle memory still works for some reason) and using a different typing behaviour - more of a peck with multiple fingers rather than touch typing. And I will simply never type enough to have the same wrist issues that I have in my daily job (I'm a programmer).

    So perhaps Mark would be happy with a Qwerty typewriter too?

  3. Mark tells me he got the following message: "I listened to the typewriter podcast, and ordered a typewriter!" Job done.
