I learned to touch-type on manual typewriters, and wasn’t allowed to use the electric ones (I was not a fast typist). I got an IBM Selectric typewriter for my 1985 grad gift (I wrote poetry on it, and typed papers for money).
Hah! I used my dad's computer to type up students' papers as well. I was "fired" when I delivered a friend's homework report all about the famous player Sed Williams. I guess his name was Ted? I cannot be held responsible for poor penmanship!
