In the useless toys category...

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...

Yep. That would invert the setting: no keyclack when the terminal threw an error.

I'm not surprised they were using those; my HS system's bus route planners were using a VAX mainframe in 1988. Now, when I worked in a nonprofit's office and they had original IBM PC's, with cassette ports, in 1993, that was a little scary.
