Found on Dvorak’s blog: Ebay listing for RARE IBM Selectric. Of course it’s rare. On Ebay, if it’s something no longer available at Target or Wal-Mart, it’s rare.And from looking at the typewriter, it looks like it’s in pretty good shape, especially considering its age. Since we Ebayers always grade on a curve, I suppose it therefore must be mint condition. Or maybe it’s MINT+++++++++++.
I suppose we should be glad that most people who have sufficient cranial matter to do a forgery right also have a few billion other things they really need to get done yesterday.
I do too. Excuse me while I go look for something really rare. Like secure software from Microsoft.
No Bob jokes, please.
