I remember at least a part of those days! My first training course in '84 was to help executive assistants (they were called secretaries back then) convert from typewriters to a standalone word processing unit from DEC (with 2 8" floppies...one for the system files and one for the data files). I don't miss those days even tho' I do remember them! I started with Ventura then, at the request of a prospect, learned about FM (the only software course I ever officially took). I was in heaven!!!!!!
