I have no problems with the interface other than the typewriter is no overly fast. It is a fairly reasonable typewriter with correction and things like decimal tab stops (others in the line also have automatic centering). It is also fairly light and comes with a lid so you can carry it around. It doesn't look that durable so I wouldn't do something like checking it as luggage on a plane. The typewriter is rather nice with the exception of the type styles available. They are rather limitted. The one that comes with it is called PRESTIGE 1012. The idea is that you can use it at either 10 or 12 pitch. It looks kind of dumb at 10 pitch and is best at 12. They also have a different style (Oracle?) that looks good at 10 pitch. -Ron
