Comment on Why I’m So Desperate for the Return of Microsoft Word to Our Prison Library
recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 2 days agoreading the article, I had a thought/question: wouldn’t the Swintec typewriter solely act as the typing implement and not as a stream blocker in a sense?
The typewriter obviously wouldn’t have functions such as n-key-rollover, macros and whatnot but would it restrict what application can interpret the user’s input?
If so then maybe someone could agrue that this is yet another case of IBM’s Bundling

There is no application. It’s a literal typewriter. It takes a key press and stamps it on the paper.
