I keep two electronic machines ready at all times in my office. When I need to address envelopes they don't fight me on the feed as some of my manuals do.  The carriage is stationary, so I can be a messy pig- no need to keep the carriage area clear.  Quick change typeface with the print wheels.  Finally, I got into collecting in part because I'm very interested in the technologies from the 50s through the 80s.  

When typing letters I grab a manual 90% of the time.  So... I like 'em both!  ~Tom~

Cool.  I just received a typer that came with the "manual"... (actually more like a Quick Start guide).  It showed this feature- thanks for the excellent sample.  ~TH~
