So I’ll have no internet over the whole weekend. May experience withdrawal symptoms…

I vaguely recall having a life prior to the internet, cell phones and the like.

How did we ever survive? We actually went out an (whats the phrase for it),,oh yeah,, talked to people ,, face to face !!

We wrote letters and sent them in the mail.

I used a typewriter! IBM Selectric. It couldn’t do any fancy shmancy stuff like kerned fonts or superscript. If you wanted to do superscript you had to manually turn the platen a half-return, and it didn’t diminish the size of the type. There was also only one type face, unless you used those little golf-ball font caps which were super expensive.
