The magical golf-ball with all the letters arranged around a sphere would look even more baffling. Astonishing technology for the day.

Sometime in the late 1970's ( or maybe early '80's) we were gifted a 'new to us ' IBM Selectric by a friend who was a typewriter and business equipment repair man . Still have it , though it resides in the attic , still works ( or did a few years back) . Got us through 3 Master's degrees plus an indeterminate number of kid's term papers . We had a couple of different balls for different fonts/sizes , probably still around somewhere .
