Who here remembers the book “The Mac is Not a Typewriter”? Want to engage in a little fauxstalgia, the Noisy Typer app may just be right for you. It astounds me sometimes, the amount of push-back I get when I tell authors, “You know, we don't double-space after periods anymore.” They absolutely cannot believe it. Way back in 1989, a Macintosh enthusiast and self-taught typographer named Robin Williams wrote a slim book called The Mac is Not a Typewriter . It runs in the background, so it's not like you have to type in some weird, bad word processor. It's fast enough to keep up with typers of an average speed. There are actual typewriter emulators out there if you want the authentic experience, but if you just want the clicky noises -- and you want them all the time -- Noisy Typer is going to make you happy.
