New Brother makes those turkeys
Just go to Google and enter Brother Word Processor. [link|http://www.epinions.com/offc-Typewriters-All-Word_Processor|Here's some pictures]. There's probably plenty being sold or auctioned on eBay.

New Look on the bright side...they won't get viruses!
New They don't need viruses
"I need to send my Brother Word Processor files to someone who has a PC. How do I do that?"

100% data loss.

"I have these disks from a Brother Word Processor and I need the files off them. The Brother died."

100% data loss.

New Not just that
I had the misfortune of having to work on these in J-school. I could type faster than the damn daisy wheel would print. And it took nearly as long to save a file as to print it. Yes I timed it: Five minutes to print a file, two to save it. Yes, two minutes to save a (<10 pages) text file.

Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978|Andrew Grygus]
New Thanks, I'll see if I can find one
he did want the option to send me or someone else a disk, but it looks like he is out of luck on that one if the PC won't read Brother formatted disks.

I am free now, to choose my own destiny.

This is all frightfully unimportant, but since when has that been a reason not to post?
