I forget what grade we were in but mom bought a typewriter for use at home. It was for my sister and I and my mother also went back to university so she used it as well. It was a Smith Corona but this thing was bad ass. It had a flip up screen that you could type on first and also save it to 3.5" disk. When you were ready you could type it out.

LOL.....I used a manual typewriter all the way up to about 91 or 92. Prolly cuz I couldn't afford either an electric or a computer at the time. It came in a case that you could fold up and carry with you.

I think it was around 88' when we got the bad ass Smith Corona. It was around that time that my father bought me a Vic 20 with cassette tape drive.

we had one of those! (VIC 20)... we later replaced it with a C-64 and then a C-128 (which spent most of it's time in C-64 mode: from the command prompt you'd type "Go 64" and it would ask "Are you sure?" and you'd hit "Y" )
