Last typewriter factory in the world shuts its doors

[William Park]

Typewriter manufacturers should have re-designed it to function with computer, 
rather than as competing and independent device.  Cut out the keyboard and use 
AT5/PS2 computer keyboard instead.  Put serial port so that you can print from 
computer.  They tried to compete with computer, by putting floppy disks, 
monitor, word processing function, etc.
