Typewriter Alternatives

There was no backspace, spell check, or fancy formatting, just forward movement, and muttered obscenities when you screwed up. Typewriter brings some of that ink-stained experience back' and is a Word Processor in the news & books category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Typewriter for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Web-based and iPhone apps.
