    A lot of people are mocking this video and, why not? It is somewhat funny to watch it now. However, most people who create spreadsheets, even today, would benefit from watching Chapter 18. It's only 8 minutes long and contains valuable advice... except perhaps the part about printing and storing the model in a paper file, but the principle of that exercise remains!

    I got scammed at an antique shop for one of these, I saw what looked to be a nice, clean, working, and most importantly authentically vintage typewriter for only 80 dollars, and didn't really think to check when it was made since I was in an antique shop, where things are supposed to be antique. But I get home, search up the typewriter, and turns out its brand new. Not sure what it was doing in an antique store, but I'm hoping I can get my money back for it.

    Chyrosran22's channel has several videos on Alps. If you want to know more about them his channel is great. With Alps condition is everything. If you have rough condition Alps they're terrible but good condition ones are stellar. I have some NOS White and NOS Blue Alps and I like the Blues better but it's a slight thing. My daily driver at home is white and my daily at work is blue. Both are great

    Thanks for taking the time to give an honest review of one of these things. The fact that these are made at all is fascinating. This poor machine is a testament to why we'll never see another good typewriter again: even when you cut every single corner, the labor that goes into making even the worst manual typebar typewriter makes them very expensive by today's standards. If they had to charge a few hundred dollars for this plastic abomination in order to turn a profit, imagine how much a good typewriter would cost in the modern day. It makes no sense to go that route when they made millions of perfectly functional typewriters over the last century, and you can get one of those for a fraction of the price (and arguably, even the worst typewriters of the 1960s and earlier would be better than this thing.) Until the demand for typewriters is higher than the supply, which will probably be never, we won't see somebody pony up and make anything resembling the typewriters of old.

Here's another one: there's an option somewhere in the settings menus to bridge stereo audio to mono so you don't lose an entire channel, but it might have only become available in a kernel update. Wonder if I'll look at this comment five years from now and once again fail to remember having left it.
