I have a Brother CE-50 daisy wheel typewriter w/computer interface.
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.
