I remember spending hours trying to figure out what each typewriter needed to fix a stuck key or repair a carriage that wouldn't return.
I took typing class on old manual (not IBM Selectric) typewriters and I was the kid in class that repaired the typewriters. This was the 80s and these were $2600 machines if you got the full 48Kb of RAM.īefore I discovered computers I was, in fact, a typewriter nerd. It was fifth grade - I think I was 11 - and the computer was an Apple ][. I remember the first time a computer showed up in class. I went to school in NE Portland in a small and diverse but relatively poor elementary school.

Perhaps if I blog my story, you'll share yours. I like hearing stories about how people got into computers and programming.
