Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - This is a typewriter in name only.
Item arrived with several parts not connected. I was able to fix the shift for capital letters, but still do no have the margin release working. In addition, the the typewriter often skips spaces within words. I wanted a typewriter that was not dependant upon the power grid, but I can't recommend this machine to anyone.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not like the olivetti/royal machines made years ago.
This is a cheap, poor excuse for a typewriter, manual or not. Not like the machines made years ago. Made of plastic and cheap metal, letters not aligned, skips, etc. Don't waste your money.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This made a great gift!
I didn't even know they still made manual typewriters when my grandfather told me he wanted one, but when I found this one on Amazon I was very happy. It is solid, sturdy and sold for a good price. My grandfather is happy, too.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Cheap but usable typewriter...
This is a cheap manual typewriter as the previous reviewer noted. The one I had 20 years ago of a similar design was much better than this, but there was competition back then for quality manual typewriters. If you want to bang out a rough draft in the middle of the woods (or on the balcony) without running a cord, this is better than nothing. You should get an electronic typewriter or a computer for anything else.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't do it
The unit right out of the box could not be used. The alignment of lower case letters was completely off. The unit is very CHEAPLY made in China. The action is beyond terrible. No one that can actually type could use this even if it was able to print correctly!!!! This went back the same day it arrived.

On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.

Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.

Though it has a few design and performance glitches, the Sony Ericsson W300i is a quality, basic MP3 cell phone.

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.

But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.

Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
