Aaaaah.................memories........................

TV: turning it on via the set (no remote control)
waiting for it to warm up
2 channels
no daytime tv - just the little girl with the blackboard and scary clown
after the National Anthem at around 10pm (!) waiting for the little white dot
to disappear before turning it off
Typewriters: learning to touch-type on a medieval heavy/clunky machine.
("tabulations"!)
then golfball
then "word processors" where one line of type showed on a
display that you could correct errors on
carbon paper
Telex machines: (think Match of the Day sport results click-clacking across the
screen)
Gestetner machines: in my early working days in hospitality, used to type
restaurant menus from typewriter onto paper, then place
it into a Gestetner - basically wrapping the paper around
a drum and turning the handle which would print the
menu off onto pre-loaded card at the bottom of the
machine.
and I could go on.....

Great thread!
