Holy _shit_ this paper, and the insight behind it.

You know how every receiver is also a transmitter, _well_: every text predictor is also text compressor, and vice-versa.

HOW EXACTLY AM I SUPPOSED TO TYPE THAT, DOS?

This IBM Selectric II was only $20 at a thrift store, what was I supposed to do, abandon it?!

Anyway, it powers on but is hella noisy and doesn't quite work.

I figure I'll spend some time debugging, and if I fail it's a lovely paperweight until I save up the cash to bring it to my pals at Berkeley Typewriter. I've never owned an electric typewriter myself (all of mine are manual, intentionally) so this will be be a unique adventure. #typewriter #IBMSelectric
