From the back of comic books back in the day. Never got the Sea Monkeys 🦐. Always wished I’d got the chest of toy soldiers. Just seemed like that was a lot of stuff for battle even if it was lots of cheaply made plastic crap. And was a subscriber to Charles Atlas’ ‘Dynamic Tension’ series of body-building 💪🏻 lessons. That was kind of fun to get those every few weeks. LOL

I remember getting those soldiers. It was my first lesson in false advertising. I was so disappointed when they arrived.
 
I never learned how to use one of those. I went straight from manual typewriters to word processing on a PC.

When I was about 10, my father offered to buy a PC (brand new tech at the time) if I learned to type. You have never seen a more motivated 10-year-old... I spent an hour a day for months either on my dad's hammer-style electric typewriter or on my mom's manual unit, working on lessons from a typing textbook my mother borrowed from my brother's middle school.

That red beauty is the IBM Selectric! Second best typewriter ever (the Selectric II was better). Way faster than hammer-style, no tangled hammers, and no delay like daisywheel units.

I used a Selectric II to fill out forms in my first office job: scanners were unbelievably expensive, and Adobe Acrobat as we know it not was still a decade away. I'd bet that Selectric typewriter weighed around 50 pounds.

When I went into business for myself I looked into getting one of these for a decoration in my office. The $350 price tag was a pretty strong negative incentive.
 
The greatest heavy rock band ever! Interesting that those 3 captured are the
To finish....Interestingly, the 3 captured are the 3 surviving members. Surely, when their times finally come, their bodies will be restored to that state and their bodies and souls will be whisked away to Valhalla in that "Starship" (as that plane was known)....
 
Compassion and bad-assery beautifully blended in a way that only women can do....while trying to clean up the messes that, for the most part, were made by us men.
 
Priceless! I took a typing class in high school as an elective. Manual models. When I started in business the secretaries gushed about their IBM Selectrics. Then a few of the executive secretaries got IBM PCs with WordPerfect and Harvard Presentation Graphics software and HP laser printers. The world changed quickly after that.
I think we have a word processor and printer also with the typewriter.
