I give you Typewriter Keyboard, a Mac OS X shareware application that makes your keyboard do typewriting sounds when you strike the keys.

It's a small thing, but it makes me somehow feel, when I'm writing, that I'm writing, y'know?

Now, if only I could find some way to make the keys look like that on an old Smith-Corona, like Spider Jerusalem's...

What I'd really love is an integrated iMac-like machine in the shape of an old Smith-Corona, with a screen where the paper would have been. I've always been fascinated with the idea of mixing high technology and old design. Just because you're technologically advanced doesn't mean you have to give up classic style.
