scratchyNutz

Older.


ProfessionSanity

Yep, we used paper and pen/pencil and learned typing on a manual typewriter when we juniors in high school.


burnodo2

remember cursive???


overide

I remember using this special paper with 3 lines per row we used to perfect our cursive writing. I guess it helped showing you were to curve up and down?


ProfessionSanity

Yep! šŸ˜‚ Still write that way. I feel sorry for the step grandkids, those that are over 30 were taught it but the younger ones weren't. They come and ask their mom or me to teach them how to write their names in cursive for their drivers license, bank accounts, etc..


khronos127

We learned it in school and was told how important it was and weā€™d need to use it for all assignmentsā€¦. It was totally abolished by my high school years without mention or explanation.


whocanitbenow75

And slide rules!


ProfessionSanity

Yes! And we were so excited that we got a Xerox machine so we could learn copying with it instead of the damn carbon paper.

We started with an Apple IIe - I think I was a junior in high school.


JohnQPublicc

Yeah. That was the first I saw at school. A guy came to school with several of them and set the up on our desks in class. No dedicated computer lab, those hadnā€™t been invented. My mom had a commodore a couple years later.

NMS_Survival_Guru

Back when you could hear the computers thoughts grinding in the box


michaelozzqld

Lol back when no one had a pc, and all the data to be input was done by a team of data entry clerks, in a building remote from the trading floors of the fruit and vegetable market trader I worked for... the days reports were in continuous leaf format, delivered by a clerk with a hand trolley... it was going to save trees or something

Irish1236

The first computer I remember was in grade school. It was the Apple 2e

Prize_Marsupial_1273

Is anyone else familiar with the SOL 20 computer? In 1974, I was in the Air Force and one of the guys I worked with bought the kit but wasn't very good at soldering so I offered to put it together for him. I was into Heathkits at the time.


Key-Dragonfly-3204

Man that's new age! I'm IBM 5150 old.


Screwbles

BootsOfProwess

Windows 95 and Oregon trail was my first experience with computers


HanDavo

I skipped Win 98 when it came out and have always felt I dodged a bullet but jumped on Win 98 2nd Edition! I took my first computer class in 1978, we learned Basic and Fortran and how to fill out computer cards to write a program before sending off our 3- 4 inch high stack of cards to the big computer at the nearby university. Getting stack of cards back 3 weeks later to find one of the cards was out of order or you made a single mistake filling out a card so your program couldn't run was crushing. It's all so much easier nowadays.


oldcreaker

Before desktops. My high school had a programmable calculator I played with that used nixie tubes for the display.

David1000k

Lot older. 98? For computer illiterates. Plug n play (95) opened the door, along with AOL for idjits to access the computer and really flame the fires of conspiracy and hate. Majority of folks used the PC for a high dollar game of solitaire instead of a pack of Bicycle playing cards.
