Re: the folders. I have a little stationery thing and I found some folders I really like. I don't do colour-coding though. I try to keep things organised using these. It's small-flat living and if the stationery wasn't working visually I'd go mental.

I've got paperwork here relating to my aged aunt, my kids, my work, my own writing, my partner's writing, just tons of crap. And perforce lots of stuff is stuffed away inside cupboards. Right now I have to go through and assemble a file of documents for something I need for the bank, and I'm dreading it. Which cupboard, which folders, errgghhhh.

I do sometimes think about index cards, I'd love one of those little plastic box files for them, but you know... just NO.

I've got several candidates for what I consider the ugliest:  The Olivetti Valentine; Royal Princess; IBM Models 1 thru 10,  A and B (especially when they're using carbon ribbon magazines);  Very early Underwood electrics.  This is not an objective point of view here, and they all could have very good pieces of equipment in their midst.  Looks aren't everything. 

I am going to take back my comments on early Underwood Electrics.  I have looked at an old l947 Underwood electric I long ago put into storage, and saw how beautiful it really was.  I am going to try to fix it back up to where it works again and paint it a nice two-tone green.  When I get set up, I'm going to take pictures of it.  I even also have a name picked out for it.  More later.
 

Yes, I know what you mean.  Nice machine mechanically, but grey casing, grey keytops..... Too much grey !

But I do find the clear cabinet Swintec (for inmates) kinda neat (WAY too expensive though).

As I remember seeing somewhere, penitentiaries provide these to inmates for writing letters and doing legal work.  The clear case is to prevent hiding contraband.

Hmm... I'm a month late replying to you, but thank you for the offer!

Let's see... last error I made was supposing that when you dropped the photo into a shared album that the shared property attached to the photo, whereas it just attaches to links made through that album. I think I finally exhausted the missteps.
