Those are all fantastic. I love that first one: you used to be able to put a lot of angst into emphatic carriage returns. We can't do that with laptops!

I'd forgotten all about the racket typewriters made. My laptop whispers.

Mary, I used to love writing on my typewriter. It was so heavy, I thought it would break the rickety desk on which it sat. Now, I need to explain what a typewriter is when I mention it while speaking to middle school students.
