   Around  1984 I was walking around my College and saw a big glass room, full of   
   keyboards and boxes with TV's on top of the, at least that's what they looked   
   like.   
      
   I realised, this is the future, I had better learn to type, so I took typing   
   in a room full of women (felt wierd)I learned on those electric IBM   
   typewriters.   
      
   I just recently sold my C64 stuff to pay for ham radio toys.   
      
   Cheers,

   I am older now.
