That's right. I use them for personal journals, where I can just use the X key to write over typos and then rewrite the word. If a high standard of presentation is not required, it's easy to write with.
If you have kids, do! They will be amazed about the old tech :-) Took mine out last spring and the daughter was all "Oooh!", "Hahah", "I want!". Ofcourse it's just standing in a corner forgotten now but it was fun for a day :-)
This. I did the same thing with my kids a couple of years ago, and the youngest one really took a liking to it, to the extent that she (At 7 years of age) insist on handing in the occasional schoolwork typewritten.
After trying it out a little, she settled into a rather efficient workflow, drafting her homework in pencil, then typing it up once she'd figured out what to write and what layout she wanted.
