I once picked one up with a girlfriend of mine in a VW-beetle
Now I was in the middle of moving house so I had no
space to put the monster. At first she was not very pleased
with the idea of storing it in the (front) booth of her car for a
few weeks, but she went along.... After thoose few weeks she didn't
want to get rid of it anymore because her VW-beetle had never been
that rockstable on the road ever before.
The Flexowriter ended up as an "educational" tool in a Noorwijk
youthclub both to learn typing on, and to list out the memberlist
and mailinglists that were put on papertape. You could also do nice
tricks with endless loops of papertape etc. And it was virtually indestructable.
A very necessary feature for any device residing in that youthclub!
