I was looking for an easier way to type documents, so I bought
what I called the 'glorified typewriter' [the Apple]
My first computer was an Apple IIe I used to write my MS thesis using a
daisy wheel printer. Using a computer saved me time and money because I
did need to find a typist or need to worry about my so-so typing skills
on a typewriter.

this industry was a passing fad, following the thinking of those at IBM
and
Xerox that they had the latest for many years to come ... then things
started to change with each passing day; computers were no longer those
huge machines filling some large room and spilling out stacks of cards,

[have you seen the movie Bridget - it will open your eyes to how things
were before the computer age and has a great scene showing what's supposed
to be a computer filling a room with umpteen flashing lights.]

I was mistaken as to which version of MO I learned to use as a 5 year old.
It was MO 2000 not 2003. I am 16 not 14 also!
