Typewriter Day video

For Typewriter Day -- the holiday celebrated (for the first time today) by typospherians to mark the anniversary of Sholes' patent for the Type Writer -- I've filmed myself typing "Greetings to everyone in the Typosphere!" on an unusual machine. Unfortunately my '99 camcorder chose this moment to malfunction, so this was recorded on an '01 (or so) cheap digital camera. Quality is poor, but you'll get the idea. And you can hear the combination of birdsong and typewriter racket quite nicely.
