What was the price of a typewriter in 1995?
In 1995 computers were the rage. Typewriters and electric typewriters were used for multipart forms at the time. There were even computers, software and printers that could handle multiple part forms for the government, car dealerships and insurance companies. So the typewriters began to be obsolete. At that time I could get a refurbished IBM Selectric with all their best features and even some memory in it for $25 at the repair shop or at used typewriter places. You could get new ones with some word processing features for $200. Now I can get a good computer for $200 either new or refurbished. The poor man in the repair place had over one hundred typewriters for sale then.

Electric typewriters began to become a regular thing in the 1970's, and, believe it or not, some people used them all the way until the 1990s when computers became a regular device (though most offices had computers installed in the 1980s). The final typewriters were much more advanced than you might think-- some electric typewriters from the late 1980s had LCD displays and printers that could be plugged in. It was not the typical, loud, clacky typewriter of the early 20th century.
