GalleyCat on mediabistro.com ran the headline that intrigued me. Tired of pecking away on a midget laptop keyboard? Miss the old IBM? Well, an innovative artist, Jack Zylkin, has the answer -- a gadget that connects a typewriter to your computer via a USB port.

hye! i hope i can took this pictures for my magazine contest! thanks!
Pictures of typewriters are in the public domain. You can go to the embedded link and contact Jack Zylkin if you want a video, I see. Good luck with your contest. Do you have a link to it?
I don't know how I missed this! I have one of Zylkin's conversion kits. I had planned to use it on an old Smith Corona portable I have, but when I got looking around at the antique typewriters out there, I was totally sucked in. I now have a collection of 16 typewriters, the newest of which is my old Smith Corona, from the 1940's. All of the others are from the 1920's or earlier.
I still have not turned one into a USB machine.
Amazing hobby! Congratulations, and enjoy.
I gotta have this!
