I saw a thing at the West Coast Computer Faire called "Magic Fingers".
Basically its a bunch of solenoids in a housing that mounts on top of
the Selectric's keyboard and fire at the appropriate times.  Actually,
I thought it was more of a novelty than a useful thing, but it *did* do
the job with a minimum of wear and tear on the Selectric (standard
drivers have been known to burn out Selectrics in a short time).  Its
