That's what I use now...way better than my previous model, the Timex/Sinclair 1000. Web surfing is a bit slow, but this baby and me, we've been through a lot together. Reagan, Bush, Clinton (both terms, Bush Jr. (both terms). Now, can anyone tell me how to upgrade this baby? What do you mean?

Not that I couldn't type. I am a very very good and fast typist. I just never showed up. It was my last period class and I had more fun things to do. Especially since a JROTC instructor taught it. Ugh! The first computer I learned on was a Commodore 64 in 8th grade advanced math. What the hell it had to do with advanced math, I don't know, but the advanced kids were the only ones allowed to use them. Okay, I failed typing in high school. Not that I couldn’t type.

Never have I felt more unaware of what I was actually trying to accomplish than when I took my grade school computer classes. Even Oregon Trail held no meaning. Ahh, memories.

Just yesterday, I was telling someone that the most useful classes I had in high school were typing and English. The computer in the photo is a dead ringer for my first computer, too!
