Well my 11 year old son does! We found a typist at Goodwill and he was really intrigued by the idea of how they work. The problem was that the ribbon was out of ink. We found these, it was easy to install although it was a little more expensive than I would have liked, but I guess they're not in high demand. Anyway it works, I've had good experiences with my son and we both agree that Google Docs is way better than a typewriter.
