Smith Corona portable, removable from case:

It was a gift about 1960; served extremely well.  I believe mine had the open ribbon, not the cartridge.

I was given an electric typewriter with parallel connection for computer, removable daisy-wheel.  It gave crisper type than the dot-matrix but could not 'justify' well; documents looked like Swiss cheeze.

 Very practical advice Mr.Brannon.  :-)  We have and are literally putting all our eggs in one basket are we not.  We can not function without some electronic aid to store our phone numbers, take notes, etc.  I wonder how sales of pens and pencils are faring these days.
 
 Will Underwood do?  I can not remember my last machine.  It was an electric portable, at least portable at the time it was purchased.
