An Olympia and an IBM elite

It was an IBM Selectric, actually. Hey, don't impugn Selectrics, they were great typewriters! Monospaced fonts, of course. But solid as a rock, great 'bouncy' keyboard, and that typeball was a huge improvement. It never jammed and let you type all kinds of symbols and Greek characters you could never type before, just by changing the ball.
