Anyone else ever have to use Mavis Beacon?
I hated that typing BS.

Yeah!

We had an Apple II Gs

The Mavis Beacon on that one included a little game where you were driving and the faster you typed (correctly), the faster you went. Good times.

I think all my floppy discs are long gone!

I do remember when floppy discs were actually floppy

Here just the bigger floppy ones were floppies. The smaller were "rusks". Those words rhyme in Finnish.

Lol where I went to school floppy disks meant you were in the audio video club most likely and were getting pick on on the bus and your lunch money taken

I think we went to the same school.

I'm not sure what you're saying here, but my first computer was an Atari 800.

In the late 70's I had a device that had a coupling to attach your phone handset for dial up. And there was a program called MCI Mail (before regular email). I used to send to factories in Cina and MCI converted my messages to Telex at their end.

I did as well in the early 80's. I remember thinking how cool it was when we finally got internal modems that hooked into the phone line.
As a teen, I initially had essentially a terminal (even before the Atari) that connected to a mainframe at the local college (where a parent worked). It had a rudimentary word processor. I wrote a bunch of papers on it for High School. It was better than typing them out. But I had to get them done 1 day early, so my parent could pick up the output.
