You got me on the nuns. My wife spent 12 years in Catholic school and she had the red marks on her hands to prove it.

We had a typewriter like that, the predecessor to the word processor. But now we're talking some 20-25 years ago, not what you'd call ancient, like me and Lynn.. Nope

I laughed out loud when I read this. Brings back memories. I probably won't sleep well tonight! Eek

A self-important college freshman walking along the beach
took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen resting
upon the steps, why it was impossible for the older generation
to understand his generation. "You grew up in a different world,
actually, an almost primitive one" the student said loud enough
for others to hear. "The young people of today grew up with
television, jet planews, space travel, and man walking on the
moon. We have nuclear energy, ships and cell phones,
computers with light speed........and many more.
After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows.
"You're3 right son, We didn't have those things when we were
young......so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little sh*t,
what are you doing for the next generation?
The applause was thunderous!!!...........UNK

Try 30 years ago for that word processor. It was just like you said, a typewriter with a little LCD screen window. I had a Casio calculator/watch with a touch pad (The iPad had it's forerunners 30 years ago. I'm not that young. I just have the mind of a 15 year old.

We just dumped verizon because we have only been using 10 to 15 minutes a month of our 450 so we got 2 tracfones that tripple the minutes bought for life.
I will not be texting or doing email even though they can, my fingers just aren't that small, however I do like having wifi , a camera, and an MP3 player all in one. I have had mine for 12 days and used 4 minutes. If you use the wifi you can check your email with it, but I don't think I could send more than 2 or 3 words for a reply.
Not addicted yet...
