poor people's typewriter
Back in the days, typewriters were precious and costly items. In Switzerland, someone came up with the idea to construct a typewriter for the less fortunate. The idea was simple: cut production costs by saving a certain number of keys. This way, the typewriter would become affordable for everybody. The market is good, it provides for everyone!
