"extreme" typing

OMG
(oh my goodness)
Did not realize how very much I
desire
a
Manual Typewriter
until discovered how incredibly difficult / impossible / Aaaauuugggghhhh!
it is to match a printer to what Computerhumans call

"an outdated operating system."
(Yuh--from last spring...(!!!) sorry for doing such a Silly Thing as trying to get printer for computer from -- like -- last weekend...[!]
ok it's older than that but come on...!!!!)

Local store person assures me I can get an XP tower and a printer that will "communicate with" it for a amount which is -- more money than the whole shebang costs at Walmart --
the precise amount of money which is Too Much...erk, mmrrmphgughqx @#%%#@!

-----------------
may go another route: I learned to type -- (touch system, no looking at keys) ON a "Manual Typewriter" so long ago freaking Nixon was president (wage and price controls) --
did it then, can do it now dammit
-- and they (the manual typewriters) are -- floating out there -- on the internet ocean -- in space -- near the Sea of Tranquility --
at prices from $10 to $650.

($25 - $85)...
N-n-n-n-n-0-0-0-0-w-w
we are
talkin'

Am tired of all this -- everything's-outdated-so-fast-to-keep-you-buying new
and thus-churning-money-through-economy-which-benefits-someone-somewhere-but-not-me-far-as-I-can-tell:

By going with a Manual Typewriter,
am-taking-stand-against-being-forced-coerced-to-buy-stuff-cannot-afford,
and
(I'm guessing)
helping the Environment, in some way -- would like to believe. ...Hmmm...

The Smith Corona Classic 12!
The Vintage Royal Aristocrat...
The Smith Corona Sterling...!
The Smith Corona Super Sterling...
Yum.

Do not possess internet at home.
Wish to do "production typing."
Think circumstances have led (or pushed?) me to correct decision...
OMG, am psyched.
