I realize I am dating myself by extolling the virtues of “California Typewriter.” The documentary is a love letter to a device that a dedicated minority embrace, but has been pushed aside by technology. The film made me nostalgic for my early years in journalism when newsrooms were dominated by the cacophony of the clack-clack-clack of the keys, the bells of line-ending sentences and the ripping of paper from machines as reporters battled deadlines and word counts to get the news in print.
