Steampunk accessories are usually really cool to look at but aren't functional, so Etsy seller BruteForceStudios decided to up the ante and create a wearable work of art that also serves a purpose.
Enter the arm guard of the old-fashioned future, which boasts an impressive array of features:
The keyboard features:
– 3-in-1 multimedia wireless keyboard (Keyboard, TouchPad, Laser Pointer)
– Control your media while sitting on the sofa, lounging in bed, up to 100 feet away
– Built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a short re-charge time
– Includes mini 2.4 GHz USB wireless receiver
– Wireless receiver stores inside keyboard when not in use
– Stand-by time: 500 – 700 hours
Now you can chat about how cool you look, and the fact that you can afford the $1200 price tag, wherever you go. But can it take dictation?

I bought my first typewriter, a Royal Royalite 64 at California Typewriter. They were really friendly there, luckily for me its a quick bus ride from the UC Berkeley campus.
The first guy that invents a ribbon re-inker will make millions. Or go broke.
(maybe the ribbon companies will murder him)
...But that was way before "DOS" or "Windows" - Géé I'm getting óld...!
:-D
I don't remember inking typewriter ribbons. I did ink printer ribbons though. I remember dipping a fountain pen in the ink bottle and pulling the lever down to fill up the rubber bladder with ink. One brand of ink even had bottles with a small reservoir of ink near the lid so you wouldn't need to dip the pen way down into bottles that were nearly empty.
Remember when a bottle of ink and ribbons were really inexpensive? Now you almost have to mortgage the house to afford printer ink.
Then came Teletype printers but that's a story all by itself. GGG
(we all know why printers are so cheap)
