Depends on which computer I'm sitting down at. I work equally well in certain versions of WordPerfect and Word, but sometimes all I need is TextEdit for the basics.
Selectric! I adore Selectrics and would gladly use one for ordinary correspondence if I could a) get type balls for it and b) get ribbons. My non-electric backup typewriter is a 1936 Royal portable, for which I still have a few ribbons squirreled away. It's lighter and more portable than a Selectric, but I can't go as fast on it as it tends to jump a bit.
