Hey,
In 1974 I was going to buy a Selectric because I was the only engineer
who knew how to type and had to type test procedures for the techs to
test circuit boards for which I was the test engineer. It was high tech
at the time but it didn't last past about 1985 when printers (dot matrix)
became to some on the scene. The only reason I knew how to type is that I
took typing class in high school, the only boy in a class full of girls,
I am not stupid, I got lots of study dates, and more. I also took home
economics, same result, got **** from my guy pals, but lots of girlfriends.
Planning, even in High School, pays off, sometimes in the long run, now I
can type and cook and have some great memories of more female friends than
the jocks.
IBM Selectrics had a use to us dinosaurs.
