Yeah, Ruth, I know what you're talking about.... they did look somewhat like a typewriter, and functioned just as you describe.... We had one for a while... I don't remember using it...and I don't know where it is... you can still get typewriters, so I would think those word processors would still be available, too... Maybe get in touch with HP, and ask them.... Good Luck!

Before computers became affordable, there were some free standing Word Processors. They had a little screen of about 4 lines just above the keyboard. In this, you could see what you had typed and make corrections just like on a computer.One I am thinking of was made by Brother. Then, I think, you could press Print and it would print out what you just typed. Does anyone remember these? Are they still around? I tried going to Google but am not sure they understood what I am looking for. Any other suggestion as to where I might look? Many thanks.
