Not unpacked this in a while:
my mum's portable #typewriter.
Torpedo 20, 1957 (serial 95XXXX)
I also just learned that the Torpedo-Werke AG was a manufacturer of (initially) bicycles and (later, starting in 1906) typewriters, local to the Frankfurt region.

"The Power of Month View"...
Screenshot of a Microsoft Teams popup screen informing users that there's a new version of Teams Calendar which includes new, powerful features such as month view and calendar customization settings. The illustration above the text features what looks like a simplified mancala board with a green plus sign hovering above and a pink marble slotted in. At least one other marble seems to be lost as it rolls off.
