type(writer)

i've been wanting an old typewriter.  a classic, beautiful model that has in it's past life typed, letter by letter, a handful of stories and essays and reports and letters. half a world away letters.  i want to sit and type a page, finger after finger - taking an hour or more if need be, but ending up with a one of a kind piece of paper with a one time only page of carefully strung together words. only one copy will exist, no saving, no command p, no spell check, no delete or undo or cut and paste. i want the ink on my fingers and the damp on the finished page. i want one page to be more meaningful than a dozen, quality not quantity. slow motion, not fast forward.
