Around  1984 I was walking around my College and saw a big glass room, full of
keyboards and boxes with TV's on top of the, at least that's what they looked
like.

I realised, this is the future, I had better learn to type, so I took typing
in a room full of women (felt wierd)I learned on those electric IBM
typewriters.

I just recently sold my C64 stuff to pay for ham radio toys.

Cheers,
Alan

I am older now.
