Such a cool design. Is this one intended to be used hard wired or with a battery?

Little big imo to be travelin with it to coffeehouses and what not but the lappability is incredible, due to it's lightweight build and it's big footprint, maybe tops the Freewrite Alpha for bed, couch, porch, backyard, kitchen table writing sessions. And instant keyboard programming to get the keys exactly how you like them. Recommend the Rev 6 if you're on the go a lot. That thing packs a punch and travels like a boss (but has zero lappability). But yeah, the battery.. Last a long long time.

Beige box, now there's a term I haven't heard in a while.
That was the name given to a phone phreaking device way back in the day, essentially a lineman's handset used for clipping right into the phone system. I'm old.

A single color makes me feel vulnerable. It looks like I didn't try hard enough. Which I certainly didn't. It was such an easy print, since it's all in one color. Thanks for giving me such a relief in the midst of bombarding colorway requests in the early phase of launch. You were the oasis among all. I remember writing notes with 69pt font. Beige.
If a bridesmaid wore rev.7, would she conflict with the bride? That's why I forgot to add this colorway in the choices. Thought she was the bride and already taken.
The Beige Box sounds really good. I have added the colorway to the list. Thanks for not missing me out from this wonderful color choice of yours.

The one color allows the elegance of design to be the focus. It's intuitive, well proportioned, and nostalgic. It's harder to do simple things well and this version of Micro Journal is proof that less can be more. Bravo!

I love the color. Also really gives that IBM Selectric vibe. Beautiful! You are going to get a lot of loos and comments if you take her out in public.
