For those of you that miss the good old days of typing at slower speed and with much more annoying clicks and clanks with a traditional typewriter then today is your special day. This is a special new design that comes from Jack Zylkin from usbtypewriters that takes an old school typewriter and adds in USB functionality allowing you to hook it up to your computer. The fully modded version costs about $400 to $500 or you can choose to have him mod your own typewriter for just $200. If that still sounds like a lot and you are a bit adventurous, he sells do it yourself kits for $75 to $150. [Technabob]
