Oh, and to age us even more, I took my keyboarding class on a typewriter. Remember those?



IBM Selectric, oh yeah! I hated that class, because I had this bad-ass Smith Corona electronic typewriter at home that could do magical things like erase your mistakes for you, either a character or a word at a time. Not only did we have to buy our own paper, but this sharpenable eraser with a brush on the other end. I barely passed the class (got a 72, <70=F) and didn't really learn to properly type until I got to college and spent endless hours perusing newsgroups and jibber-jabbering with other folks (often in the same room) over the university mainframe. ADigitalMan knows what I'm talking about.
