The question was: "... how many people here have never used a fully manual camera - no autofocus, no modes, no built-in meter." All of these cameras have built-in meters. There was no mention made about the use of external meters. If your camera didn't have a built-in meter I'd expect you'd be using an external, or hand-held meter at least some of the time. So, you may actually have fit the requirements of never having used a fully manual camera, but these cameras don't fit the requirements of the question being fully mechanical and meterless.
