It was noisy when the typewriter (Lettera 22) was sat on the table though, which was OK at 5:30pm but would probably be noticed later on. Overall it made the rather formulaic nature of these sorts of hotels a little more fun.OldGreyBeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755872795292550162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-25482842198075739422018-12-05T19:26:13.300-05:002018-12-05T19:26:13.300-05:00This is lovely and inspiring.

I’m absolutely going to pack a portable on the next road trip. I love this vibe and the idea of parking myself on a chair in the Smoky Mountains to do a bit of writing.

I don't know... <br /><br />At least my Olivetti Studio 46 has an advantage that neither computers (even portables) nor standard typewriters have: I can carry it with me almost anywhere (a good thing when it's cold inside and you need some sun outside), and it doesn't depend on power (electricity) sources or Internet's connections. <3Robin Heilschild 【蓋面】https://www.blogger.com/profile/03429820251341371094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-20656035354011957572018-11-23T23:32:15.854-05:002018-11-23T23:32:15.854-05:00Good solid advice Richard.

I like the idea of drafting my thought and not using a computer. I may have to get in the habit of carrying my portable around more and leaving the computer at home. I do have an AlphaSmart NEO, though a little new fangled it keeps me grounded.
