Yeah, I have my old Olympia portable and also a Smith Corona pportable electric
that I don't use.
A search on Froogle yielded quite a few typewriters; many portable vintage ones
that are claimed to work well.
I still use mine to address envelopes or print a check, instead of using
checkwriting software on the PC.
Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often.
