It’s typewriter week! For the next 7 days we’ll post only works made with those magical typewriter machines. It’ll be our usual mix of old and new, classy and trashy. The images here are from old posts we’ve made, see http://text-mode.tumblr.com/tagged/typewriter. They are: 

Typewriter Town by William Jay Smith (1960)

BB – a demo for Unix and DOS made by four Czech teenagers in 1997: Jan Hubicka, Kamil Toman, Mojmir Svoboda and Filip Kupsa. They made a notorious library for ASCII-conversion, AA-lib, which was later used for example in Hasciicam and VLC (see Wikipedia). They also made Aview that lets you browse the web in ASCII, ASCII-3D-2000 that creates stereogram ASCII, and more. It’s a similar spirit to the ASCII Art Ensemble.

Toadie virus (1999).
A relocating virus-worm. It is encrypted and non-memory resident. This virus was posted to several newsgroups as a cell phone cloning application on 15th of August 1999. The virus was in CELLCRK.ZIP file. When the CELLCRK.EXE program that was inside that ZIP is run it displays a rhyme and a copyright string of Symantec.
