Hi Mike, I like darker colors and the gray and green look good!

Hi Pete, The color scheme isn’t one I’d buy but it is definitely hard not to keep looking at it.

Pete, I like it much better than the color Olympia Japan did for the Olympiette 2.

Thanks Pete. I was just looking at my typeface again and the #89 is the one I have on an SM3.

Hi Pete,

Do you know which typeface it is?

We can sort of relate.  My wife went to an eye surgeon for a pre-surgery consult.  Their 5 page admit-forms on a clip board where pre-printed in 20 cpi font.

Sort of hard for folks to read when eye-glasses can no longer correct for weak clarity.

They did not even offer table-top magnifiers.  We left and did the forms at home and rescheduled.

I told the front desk how idiotic this was.

Pete, it has baffled me for a long time wondering why forms are created the way they are and who the creator thinks will be filling it out. As writing by hand has become more challenging for me I try to remember to ask for the forms in advance. This last time I forgot and I wonder about most of the questions being asked anyway.

Yes it is getting cold outside so you have many months getting the project ready.

Hi Pete,

A week ago I went too a new audiologist and of course they had me fill out a bunch of forms, sitting on an uncomfortable chair, and on a clipboard. I suggested they send the forms out beforehand either via PDF or in the mail for those of us that find handwriting a painful challenge. The office manager said they want it on specific paper. That had me thinking about carrying my nice, bright Olympiette 2 to office visits in professional settings where one is randomly asked to fill out forms. I could then sit there and clack away and make a less than subtle statement.

Pete I like the red too. I have an Olympiette with an orange cover that stands out nicely. - George
