Antique? No, that can't possibly be considered an antique!

My daughter wants a typewriter for Christmas.  Lately she's been fascinated by 'older' technology.  She found her Dad's old ketchup bottle shaped telephone in the basement recently.  She brought it upstairs and insisted we plug it in.  For the next several days she made all her calls from that phone and quickly found solutions to the limitations of an old phone - lack of mobility and the need to remember phone numbers.  So, now she wants a typewriter.  When I was her age (10) typewriters were ubiquitous.  PC's and word processing were in their infancy.  I can understand her fascination with that satisfying clicky clack of the keys.  However, typewriters are hard to come by these days.  When I mentioned that they didn't make typewriters anymore, she simply said "Look in an antique store."  OUCH!
