  halfway to 33.
I wasn't convinced that the whole computer thing was going to take off, so I went old school and bought a Selectric at a school auction for the pricely sum of $10.00... had it for years and weighed as much as a small Mazda.

  Learned how to type on one of these in high school. Our school had Apple IIe's but they wouldn't teach typing on them. I guess they were afraid we'd break them.

  In high school we had typing class on some kind of Mac...don't remember the model. I remember we used ClarisWorks and had to make a newspaper thing. I wrote a story about Mary Jane.

  at the computer lab i worked in at college, we had 6 Macintosh SE computers... we'd make sure they were out of order and no one used them because they were such pieces of shit.

  I use a typewriter even older than that.. I have to wind ribbon from modern cartridges onto the spools just to use it.. I use it for writing letters.
